If you slow the video down, when the perp turns and fires the taser, you can see compressed gas being expelled. Light glints off the gas. This taser was not empty! The taser's electrical darts are fired thru the air via compressed gas charge.
Right after firing the taser, the officer stumbles and goes off-course. Sure looks like he was shocked.
As Dan Bongino was saying on Watter's World, the appropriate response to the perp's debilitating attack was being shot. He conceivably could have retrieved the incapacitated officer's firearm and then God Knows what would have happened next!
