At one point, Brooks turned and allegedly shot the stun gun at Rolfe who drew his service weapon from his holster and opened fire.

That little segment always appears to be buried far down in the article. Usually followed by someone claiming that's not a deadly weapon and thus shouldn't result in deadly force.

Hands up anyone who has a gun on them who has someone aim a taser at you - who's going to wait to see if they get disabled by the less than lethal weapon and still have a gun to defend themselves with? Anyone? Come on, someone must want to risk their life to protect any idiot...

Didn't think so. If BLM was serious, they'd be marching in the streets saying 'stop fighting with police.'

Faux had on some cop who said the taser had already deployed and the cops should have known it wouldn’t be lethal from that distance...yeah, in the space of seconds they’re supposed to take all that into account when they’ve just suddenly fought with the guy on the ground and are very lucky a gun wasn’t grabbed?

They had no idea if it was a taser. This is literally happening in seconds. He hadn’t been cuffed, and definitely hadn’t been searched. As far as they knew, he had a piece on him, stuffed down his pants or in the small of his back.

It looked like the taser shot at Rolfe hit him? After Brooks fired the taser, Rolfe ran into a car then staggered for a few steps before firing...am I seeing this right?
