It was a split second difference where he deployed the taser at one officer and the other officer immediately pulled his service pistol and fired. The officer chasing him actually ran into a car trying to dodge the probes. I can say with certainty that a reasonable person would have done the same in that situation.

I'd have to look at the video again. I couldn't hear the sound and so could not tell exactly when the shots were fired.

I'll grant a qualified "reasonable" if the shooter aimed at the victim's chest and the victim spun as the cop pulled the trigger.

Otherwise. No. Especially if the other officer did manage to dodge the probes.

A cop should still be thinking whether the kill was warranted for DUI and resisting arrest.
