DA says Brooks wasn't a threat when he shot Taser at cops. But he said a Taser is 'a deadly weapon.' - TheBlaze:
But as the officers attempted to arrest Brooks, he resisted. He grabbed the Taser from one of the officers and began to run. Moments before he was shot, Brooks pointed the stun gun back at the officers.
A Taser is a 'deadly weapon'
Yet when announcing charges, Howard told reporters that Brooks "never presented himself as a threat" and "never displayed any aggressive behavior."
Howard's claims seem at odds with his own argument about Tasers just two weeks ago, when he acknowledged that "a Taser is considered as a deadly weapon under Georgia law."
