You are deflecting when you attempt to present some other argument.

My statement is taken from a link you supplied.

Really? That is not in any of the reporting. Enlighten us all as to
your evidence that he had a gun during the incident that led to his
being shot in the back.

Quote the ruling. When is a taser a deadly weapon? I do not believe
that it can be considered as such when discharged randomly in the air
from a considerable distance. Site the ruling that shows I am wrong.

OK since it was not on the video in question, you dug up some other
video by a youtube blogger. I'm sure that if one searches enough they
can come up with some source to say anything they want to say. In any
case, looking at time 3:12 the blogger goes on to claim that the DA has
declared that a taser is a deadly weapon. He presents a chart from the
GA code that he claims supports his statement. However, it explicitly
outlines conditions under which an object might result in a charge of
aggravated assault. That article doe not mention a taser, and for the
case in question the taser as discharged by Brooks does not fit the
definition in the statue. It was not discharged in a manner that did or
could result in serious bodily harm.
Try again if you can come up with a credible source.
