Use of a firearm in a situation where it may cause deadly injury shall only be admissible in the case of self-defense or emergency.
This is the point they're going to use to crucify this cop. They will argue that there was no emergency. They will argue that Brooks stole a non-lethal weapon and was fleeing at the time that he was shot.
The only hope this guy has is if he gets a very, very good lawyer. Even then, depending on how the case is handled...it might not be enough.
