The officer gave him commands to show him his hands and deployed their Taser on the suspect, causing the suspect to fall forward. As the suspect fell, he rotated his body around, pointing a firearm at both officers. Both officers discharged their firearms at the suspect, striking him.

If they tase him and falls, rotating his body, that is likely involuntary. He probably did not point the weapon with the intent to shoot.
But... It's the US and our trigger happy hero's in blue that are concerned about officer safety 3:1, with body armor, and not having been shot at, I guess had to shoot him 30 times, "just in case."
Easier to shoot them when they're being tazed.
gee guys i think you should have emptied another couple mags to really make sure he knows who he is messing with
