This was one of the most infuriating police shootings I've ever seen. That cop is an absolute sociopath and a danger to society.

[mamapetillo]

There’s nothing more dangerous than a weak and fearful person seeking dominance and authority, while armed.

[brendamcleod]

I remember this case. The video was extremely disturbing. The police were VERY aggressive and Daniel seemed terrified. To me, the police got away with murder ☹️

Update: Daniel's widow just settled her lawsuit for $8M. It's a start, now we must insist that Charles Langley be put in prison.

this case always haunts me. disgusts me how this wasn’t bigger news. not nearly enough outrage. the fact the officer never faced any prison time is the worst part.

[djamesvideography]

This is the clearest injustice i've ever seen in a police shooting case. That this officer wasn't found guilty is beyond me.

This case was absolutely infuriating. It was just insane that guy was even an officer..

[brianridgley]

both of my parents are retired law enforcement, I always remember my father telling me that most people have no business having power or authority over someone else, he went on to explain that when he was in college for criminal justice, that the vast majority of the class (he said 75%) just wanted authority over some one else and thats the only reason they wanted to become a cop.

it scares me how right he is

The officer who shot Daniel had, “You’re fucked”, etched on the side of his AR-15. If that doesn’t scream, “I’m eager to kill someone”, then I don’t know what does.

The impression I got when I initially saw this video years ago was that the person issuing the commands was sadistic by nature and the totally wrong person to be wearing a badge.

[cocoblessings]

It appeared to me that the police officer (AKA “the perpetrator”) wanted ANY excuse to shoot Daniel.

[paulstarbucks]

THE POLICE played games with this man's life, a game HE COULD NOT WIN, because there was a psychopath behind the trigger ..!!!

[Rakshasa]

Watching a man begging for his life and getting murdered can definitely give someone PTSD. But I'm having a lot of difficulty believing the *officer* who killed him was the one who was traumatized.

[victordasilva]

This is the most bogus case ever, that punk cop should be in prison for life.

[vonclod]

This is the kind of cop, who shoots a guy in a wheelchair 8 times in the back, then once in the head. The fact he get's money out of it, is beyond repugnant, and a slap in the face to every taxpayer, and every citizen.

[anneg]

How the jury acquitted that cop was an absolute miscarriage of justice.

[VictorianHairwork]

Watching the bodycam of this murder makes me feel physically ill. Can't imagine what the jury was thinking. And it's even more disgusting that the cop that shot him gets a pension for his supposed trauma.

[SilverLayna]

That cop deserved prison. I feel so terrible for his wife and children. That man begged for his life and was absolutely terrified...the murderer just wanted to kill someone that day. Poor Daniel💔 I heard the woman that was there with him has had a terrible time since the murder.

[GO-GO_SO-SO]

And it was determined that this cop did the right thing. When people say there is a problem with policing in America, videos like this prove them absolutely right.

Incredibly, the judge did not allow the jury to see the video. Add him to the list of A.H. in the case.
