not the right question, i don't think.
i believe the question is whether the person would have a reasonable fear of death or great bodily injury.
seems to me that a scenario that leaves the cop incapacitated, especially where there has already been a showing of violence by the suspect, has always been thought to be an appropriate time to use deadly force.

yeah that's what i'm asking. reasonable fear of great bodily injury or death didnt fit in thread title.
does someone pointing a taser at you justify responding with deadly force?
edit: i see ur edit

i added to my answer.
one thing i'm not sure of is whether the taser could be fired again. cuz i guess if he's fired the taser, and it didn't hit its mark, AND it can't be fired again, then maybe you shouldn't be shooting him.

Dude who hates cops here. If I was on the jury, I’d sleep through the trial and vote to acquit.
It’s obviously a clean kill.

No, sleeping in your car right before going to your daughters 8th birthday party and taking her skating is not a reason to kill a black man.

also the second cop tried to taser the keed and either missed or it didn't work.
This is tangentially why cops should change use of force protocols to not draw so easily (though this case was 100% justified).
If you have a cop draw on someone who is just walking towards them, the cop has no way to compel compliance other than shooting.

Seems double-edged for cops to try to set precedent that tasers are deadly force?
obviously in normal times a cop would never be charged or disciplined for this but now? lol

Either one of the cops could have shot the suspect DD during the initial melee on the ground and maybe a second or two after without issue. I don’t think the backwards effort to taser blast is going to save this cop from a murder charge, absent some clever work on the facts and reasonable doubt from his attorney at trial. And I’d be shocked if an appellate court overturned a guilty verdict on the theory that under the circumstances of the attempt to arrest and give chase (which may be largely undisputed in light of the video evidence), the objective prong of the defense of self/others affirmative defense was met (or otherwise fits within _Garner_).
[actually Georgia’s self-defense statute appears more capacious than _Garner_].

objectively speaking under the circumstances present, doesn't seem like a grave risk--if you allow the suspect (who is already a considerable distance ahead) to continue to flee, what's the harm apt to be? it's a fluid situation, so if the fleeing suspect decides to turn back and charge, obviously the analysis can change (even in the state the suspect/perp was in, not too likely). there would be probably at least two officers back and ready to draw if anything like that happened. as i said earlier in this thread, either officer would've been at liberty to cap perp during the initial struggle on the ground and immediately after, before the retreat dissipated the risk. as i also noted earlier in this thread, i'm not aware of the closest section 1983 analogues (i'm sure there are taser cases in some jurisdictions but presumably generally in close quarters where there's a substantial risk of officer incapacitation), so i'm not sure whether there would be civil liability, and the self-defense provisions applicable to georgia police officers look broad enough that criminal liability seems unlikely (unless the judge declines to find a preponderance of the evidence favoring the defense pre-trial, and the jury reverse nullifies--if my read of georgia law is right, the officer is apt to present the defense to the judge pre-trial on a preponderance standard, and if not it would go to the jury on a reasonable doubt standard as to requisite intent).
anyway, it shouldn't be grist for a race war; acting as though perp did "nothing wrong" is stupendously stupid; acting like this is something beyond a perhaps criminally culpable mistake (and the liability in that context can be high when you aim to kill) that we'd seek to deter specifically and generally with the "right" liability rules and training is also stupid.

Not reading this thread. Serious bodily injury.
At least in civil cases, probably cause to great death or bodily injury to others is also a defense. Tenn. v. Garner.
