If they were trained properly and knew that they would be accountable for their actions then it's not that tricky. The guy with a taser did not present an imminent threat to anyone so the cops had the time and space to resolve it without pulling the trigger.

They have been doing that and killing them too for what they "might" or "could have" done unrelentingly now for decades and centuries.
Other than natural instinct in pretty much any animal? Logic usually doesn't come into play when people get scared, especially when they are drunk.
Here's an interesting take on it from a southern guy who used to train police.

Don't agree with all his points but he knows a hell of a lot more about police procedures and training than any of us.
Isn't the second amendment is there so citizens can protect themselves from the government/police tyranny?
Here's what Brooks should have done.
1) Hands up.
2) Knees down.
3) Lie flat on tummy.
That's what the Asian knifeman did last week at the Toronto protest. Brooks did everything wrong. Resisted arrest, stole taser and fired taser at police.

Here's what the cops should have done.
1) Keep their distance
2) Take the time to deescalate if possible
3) Use less-lethal force if #2 failed
Once you fire the first shot, then the other guy is free to fire the second shot.
So you're saying that after the cops tried to taser him, he was free to try and taser the cops?
You do realize the difference between a taser and a gun right?
I can speak only about my personal experience with American cops. (Other people's stories tend to be self-serving one way or the other.) Was a frequent visitor to the U.S. for 10 years and virtually lived there for 2 years. Had several interactions with American cops. Never had any problems. One state trooper even gave me a ticket for speeding (my bad, I took that curve at 44mph when I thought it was 44kph).
The reason why he tried to resist arrest and run?
He was sentenced to 7 years for beating his children, was on parole because of covid-19. He knew this arrest will lead him back to jail.
If you don't believe me, go directly to Georgia's records: http://www.dcor.state.ga.us/GDC/Offender/Query
Go to Search by ID or Case Number, then input his Georgia Department of Corrections ID:
GDC ID: 1001370147
He had multiple charges including "false imprisonment", "cruelty to children", etc.
He knew he would go back to jail, so he tried to resist arrest and run for it.
The full video shows police officers being very reasonable with him.

Meanwhile they go with this headline right away without any investigation:
"Atlanta police chief resigns after officers fatally shoot black man who was sleeping in his car" - The Huffington Post
Absolutely ridiculous

Clearly a sufficient reason to pop two bullets into his back as he’s running away !!
It's a tough spot to be a police officer, they did everything right up until the shooting took place. The man did everything right up until he went full maniac and tried to grab the police officers taser and gun, wrestle with them, and try to shoot the taser at the cop. The officers were trying their best telling him to stop fighting, not grab the taser, etc. I wish he hadn't died, but I can't defend him after doing all that. Is the cop just supposed to just let him run after he tried to taser them and wrestled them?
And I was simply pointing out why he tried to resist arrest, I think it makes it clear now. Most people were confused why he acted so irrationally all of a sudden.
His children are probably breathing a sigh of relief that he’s dead.
I kept wondering why a man would react so violently over a DUI arrest. Now we know.
Stop resisting arrest it's that simple. They didn't leave him to die on the pavement that's a false narrative. His vital signs were checked and absent.
If the suspect had tasered the cop and incapacitated him he could have taken his gun, no? This should go to a grand jury. And that Mayor who played judge and jury based on a videotape clip should be retired from political office. An utter disgrace.
You do realize that Kinsey did not die? And that the cop who shot him was convicted of attempted manslaughter? You've been watching too much CNN Fake News.
