The New York times has had access to both the audio and video recordings of he incident. These include police body cameras, security cameras, cruiser dash cams and a video from a bystander's phone.
It is pretty clear what happened for anyone interested in the truth.

Brooks scuffles with both officers. He took a taser from officer Brosnon. As Rolfe draws his taser and aims it at Brooks Brooks fires his taser for the first time striking officer Brosnon. Rolfe was looking directly at Brooks when Brooks' taser flashed brightly. Rolfe fires his taser hittting Brooks somewhere on his body. Rolfe holds his taser trying to shock Brooks as he flees. Brooks turns and fires his taser a second time. Again their is a bright flash that is clearly visible. At this point Rolfe knows that Brooks does not have a dangerous weapon. Rolfe drops his taser, draws his handgun, and shoots three times. Brooks falls and Rolfe runs up screaming at him. When Brooks does not put his hands behind his back Rolfe violently kicks him. Rolfe and Brosnon stand over Brooks body for until another cruiser pulls into the lot. At this point Rolfe runs to retrieve his medical kit from his cruiser.
Rolfe knew he had ****** up. He released a statement through his attorney that he heard a sound "like a gunshot" befor he shot Brooks. Unfortunately they have him on video in the parking lot saying that Brooks just fired the taser at him. He is also on video asking Brosnon if the first shot hit him. There is clear video evidence that Rolfe knew the taser had been fired twice and that Brooks was unarmed when Rolfe shot him in the back.
