The perp was doing alright until test showed too drunk to drive. The cops had to take him in custody. He turned hostile when the cuffs came out. I assume it is SOP to cuff anyone before putting them in a patrol car. He overwhelmed the two cops, got one of their tasers and ran. In the chase he tried to use the taser. If he hit he could have got the cops gun and killed him. There would then be an armed fugitive loose on the public. The cop had to take him out. He could not wait for the perp repeat the process. His two shots removed the threat. Much will be made of the fact that those shots were to the back. In my opinion, the cop was justified hero.
The corrupt DA who is bringing murder charges against the cop should be thrown of office for abuse of power.
Brooks actually got Brosnan’s taser and tased him causing Brosnan to fall to the cement and suffer a concussion.
