So what the officer knew: 1) Brooks was violent; 2) Brooks had at least one unidentified object on his person; 3) Brooks could have had a weapon that was missed during the pat-down; 4) Brooks was aiming a gun shaped weapon at the officer.
All of that rolling around in his head, and he had literally a split second to decide whether or not to defend himself. What would you have done? Try to put yourself in the officer's shoes instead of leisurely second guessing from the comfort and safety of your computer chair.
