Suspecting the man of being intoxicated, the officer instructs Brooks to take a sobriety test. The police then attempt to arrest him, but he resists and appears to grab a taser from one of the officers before fleeing and being fatally shot.

One officer can be heard shouting, “hands off the taser!” as Brooks wrestles with the two cops. Several gunshots can be heard after one of the officers orders the suspect to “stop fighting.”
