It’s a tough case not legally or factually but only because a jury might not understand a very simple thing: If Brooks had used the Taser effectively on Rolfe, it would’ve been easy for him to get his gun, which was out in the open. He had already taken a Taser, there was no reason to think that he wouldn’t have taken Rolfe’s pistol. I don’t know how many taser shots Rolfe’s taser had but the more modern ones are good for two discharges. Rolfe had used up his two shots, ineffectually. That’s why he went for his gun as he ran after Brooks. Brooks had Brosnan’s Taser in his possession, so there was no Taser Brosnan could use on Brooks. All the cops had left were their pistols, one of which was at risk of being taken by Brooks if he had tased Rolfe. When Brooks shot Brosnan’s Taser at Rolfe there was at least one more shot left that could’ve been used by Brooks to incapacitate Rolfe and take his gun, which was in his hand. Then there might’ve been a shoot out between Brooks and Brosnan. Some think that the cops should’ve just let Brooks walk to his sister’s house which he said was nearby. That’s crazy. Brooks had no idea where he was. He was so drunk that he didn’t know that he was in Atlanta. He might have been totally wrong about his sister. When he would’ve found out, he would’ve returned to the car and driven off. Considering how drunk he was, that was unacceptable to the officers as Brooks would’ve put a lot of innocent motorists at risk. It looks really bad, but it was a good shoot. The mayor, a black woman, is currently being vetted by Biden’s campaign as a possible VP running mate. She thus had no problem at all firing the officer and Chief of Police and imroperly pre-judging the case. Tough case.
