There are just too many moving parts here. If I was a cop right now, I would shirley be aware of the shit situation our country is in and therefore think twice about shooting to kill a dui suspect who did not have a lethal weapon who was running away.

The 40 minutes of talking was way too much don't they have better things to do? It should have been no talking, just sobriety test and arrest or no arrest. He said plainly "Im ready to go home" right before the officer tried to cuff him, didn't seem out of control. Maybe they should have given him the choice to walk home and leave the car or go to jail.

If I was a cop I would've known that trying to tase me while running away from me while being out of range would not incapacitate me, that it's more of a desperate move from an intoxicated person. In my opinion he was trying to get away, to "go home" , that sad attempt of trying to tase the cop back was a deserate act to slow the cop down enough so he can somehow outrun him and his partner. I think they will have a hard time trying to convince a jury Brooks goal was to incapacitate the cop long enough to steal his firearm, and then shoot them both down in front of all those people.
