Daniel Shaver’s Widow Files $75 Million Lawsuit Against Mesa Police Department and Hotel report by Carlos Miller

Just over a week after Daniel Shaver’s parents filed a lawsuit against the Arizona police department that shot and killed their unarmed son, his widow also filed a lawsuit.
This one for $75 million in damages.
Laney Sweet filed her lawsuit Tuesday against the Mesa Police Department, including Philip “Mitch” Brailsford, the cop who killed her husband with an AR-15 with the words, “You’re Fucked” inscribed on it.
Also mentioned in the lawsuit is the hotel company where the shooting took place

According to the Associated Press, Sweet filed her lawsuit against the City of Mesa, the team of officers who responded to the hotel call, and La Quinta Holdings, the parent company of the hotel in question.

Police officer Brailsford was fired after the gruesome incident made local, national and international headlines. Only a heavily edited of on-the-scene bodycams was ever released, four months after into the litigation.

Video of the actual shooting is missing from what was released but disturbing images have been made public
