Well Rolfe had to know that all Brooks had was a Taser where one dart had already been fired. Once Brooks shot the second dart then the weapon was no longer a threat. Rolfe shot after the taser had been fired.

Well that calculation had to take place in 1.6 seconds. I don't think that's enough time to review the criteria for whether the guy is a threat. The guy just punched the cop and shot the taser at him. He was a threat and had to be stopped.

Yes it did. And we train police officers to act under pressure and expect them to make the right decision. When they make the wrong one then they should face the same penalties the average person does.

They had been talking with Brooks for some time. Certainly enough time to size him up.

Yes, but not through the use of deadly force since the situation didn't call for it.
