I'd like to hear opinions on this. The police can do this because they're unionized, it seems, ... which is good from an employee wellfare standpoint. It doesn't seem good for officers to get away with murder on the job. Their job puts them in dangerous situations though and it seems like this was a dangerous situation. And I'm not sure what to make of this situation with Rayshard Brooks in the first place, not sure if the officer is guilty of misconduct or not.

    Thanks for sharing your take.

    (but then it has to be admitted that tasers are dangerous enough to justify killing. Also when police use them.)

    well tasers are meant to incapacitate, a hostile could them further harm an incapacitated person.

    Didn't realize he kicked the guy after he was already incapacitated. I thought he was trying to fire the taser at the cop -- if he succeeded wouldn't that put the cop in mortal danger? If that's not what happened and he was just running away, it seems like a different situation. But if he was trying to tase the cop what else was he supposed to do to avoid getting killed in the line of duty?
