00:00Stop.
00:00Come on, man.
00:01Stop.
00:01Look at that face.
00:02Mr. Rowe.
00:02Hey, that's on the f****** taser.
00:04That's on the f****** taser.
00:10He tussled with the officers and was
00:12able to take the taser from one of the arresting officers.
00:18As Mr. Brooks ran away, he turned over his shoulder
00:22and appears to fire the taser at one of the officers.
00:27The officer, in turn, shot Mr. Brooks with his service weapon.
00:57While there may be debate as to whether this was an appropriate use of deadly force,
01:23I firmly believe that there is a clear distinction
01:27between what you can do and what you should do.
01:32I do not believe that this was a justified use of deadly force
01:37and have called for the immediate termination of the officer.
01:42Tasers are not deadly weapons.
01:43You can't say he ran off with a weapon that could kill somebody
01:46when you say it's not deadly.
01:53I just had a few drinks, that's it.
02:05How many?
02:06One and a half.
02:07Like I said, I was into the second cup.
02:10I wasn't even...
02:11I told her, babe, let's go because I'm hungry.
02:14What kind of drinks did you have?
02:16I'm not sure.
02:17It's something she ordered.
02:18She said top shelf or whatever.
02:20Top shelf what?
02:21I'm not sure.
02:23Like I said, it was her birthday and it was my daughter's birthday,
02:28intent to have a good time.
02:31I said, babe, I'm hungry.
02:33Let's go.
02:35My baby's mom, she was there.
02:38I said, babe, go ahead.
02:41I'm cool.
02:42Here's the money for the blow-up bed tomorrow.
02:45Here's the money to enjoy herself tomorrow.
02:51Take me home.
02:52I'm ready to go.
02:53So you had about one and a half drinks.
02:55You don't remember what kind of drinks it was?
02:56No, sir.
02:57All right.
02:58I really don't.
02:59All right.
03:00I think you've had too much to drink to be driving.
03:11Hey, stop fighting.
03:12Stop fighting.
03:13Stop fighting.
03:14You're going to get tased.
03:15You're going to get tased.
03:16Stop.
03:17Stop.
03:18You're going to get tased.
03:19Stop.
03:20Stop.
03:21You're going to get tased.
03:22Stop.
03:23You're going to get tased.
03:24You're going to get tased.
03:25Stop.
03:26You're going to get tased.
03:27Stop.
03:28You're going to get tased.
03:29How we feel as a black community is betrayed.
03:39You know what I'm saying.
03:42The peaceful protests aren't working.
03:44I myself get nervous when the police pull behind me.
03:47Me and my family.
