What's this?

All the cop had to do was stop and stay out of taser range, about 15 ft.


If Brooks then circles back and tries to approach, only then is your potential scenario in play. I doubt very seriously he would have. He just wanted to get away. But the cop didn’t wait to find out.

  I think you are very balanced. I definitely respect your opinion. Thanks -- Rumble 06/17/2020 5:31PM
  The officer will also claim in court that he was foggy from the punch. -- jdubforwahoowa 06/17/2020 5:33PM
