In this show we take a look at the shooting death of Rayshard Brooks in Atlanta GA, and ask one critical question at the center of the case: Did Brooks' use of the TASER he'd seized from one of the arresting officers against the second pursuing officer constitute the use of deadly force, against which the officer's use of deadly force (his pistol) was lawfully justified.

In short, can a TASER ever constitute deadly force against which a deadly defensive force response would be warranted?

Enjoy the show!
