That was his last attempt to defend himself, while he was RUNNING AWAY, running for his life.
LMAO!! Like nobody prior to this incident has ever seen someone shot for RUNNING AWAY from the cops? Next to approaching a cop with a weapon, it's the best way to wind up dead.
You folks must have raised wonderful children if you never taught them that actions have consequences.

LMAO may be that's why the country is "standing on its ears" with all this BLM stuff now, precisely because it was going on for too long?
But you don't seem to be loling now, do you?
He wasn't "just" running away, he aimed a taser (which is a lethal weapon) at the cops.
And the taser was empty and the officer knew it when he shot Brooks. So he deliberately shot a man who he knew was not armed. And the armament would not be very dangerous for an officer wearing a ballistic vest.
And he shot him in the back twice so he knew he was not charging.

In 1985 the US Supreme Court addressed this issue regarding a Tennessee law:
"The Tennessee statute is unconstitutional insofar as it authorizes the use of deadly force against, as in this case, an apparently unarmed, nondangerous fleeing suspect; such force may not be used unless necessary to prevent the escape and the officer has probable cause to believe that the suspect poses a significant threat of death or serious physical injury to the officer or others."
Law enforcement should not be given carte blanche to kill suspects simply because they are running away. You've had cases over the years involving, for instance, the mentally disabled that didn't understand what was happening to them (the arrest) and tried to run, only to be shot dead.
I know it makes some feel good to find out, after the fact, that the dead person had a criminal record. But that is not how law enforcement is supposed to work.
If you go by that standard, you may someday be killed, with the police officer afterwards saying "Well, I thought the suspect had a criminal past".
Police are to arrest suspects. Using deadly force is allowed in limited circumstances. Otherwise, the suspect is to undergo trial by a judge and jury.
Strange that some have no regard for the 'law of the land'.
Recall Dylann Roof? Walked into a Black church and murdered nine worshipers? When he was finally arrested, there was no beatings, no knee to the neck. Instead, after he said he was hungry and hadn't eaten for several days, the police got him a hamburger.
That was his last attempt to defend himself, while he was RUNNING AWAY, running for his life.
running for his life, while attacking an officer of the law, because he didn't want to go back to prison, which he was released from ONLY because of Covid...had it not been for the pandemic he would still be in jail
you attack an officer, you will get shot...
the perp made a big mistake....many times....karma could up with him

No, while DEFENDING himself from the officers that represented the "law of justice," the whole system that he didn't trust to begin with.
Did not blow double the limit. More like one drink over. And that is not enough normally to cause one to fall asleep. So it be interesting to see if there was something else going on. And he apparently fell asleep after parking the car and the officer had to wake him again.
Where I worked they taught us to never assume someone is drunk or high simply because they are acting drunk or high. Thats how you get the company and yourself sued. They could be a diabetic, there are also other medical causes for such behavior. Hell there is even a medical condition that makes people produce alcohol and get drunk from that. LOL
