guess he was never taught not to fight an officer.

The officer should’ve taken into consideration that the man was drunk and disoriented. The officer should have told Brooks that He was under arrest for DUI rather than simply pull his hands behind him. Brooks panicked and ran with the taser. Brooks never should have died by getting 2 rounds in the back. He never should have resisted, but this could have been handled differently. Now a cop will lose his job and probably be charged with manslaughter or worse.
