That's the point. A drugged up person is going to keep coming at you. Even a shot to the foot would be better than beating somebody to death, don't you think?

He wasn't beaten to death. He was "upsetted" to death. ...And what makes you think that a shot anywhere non-critical would have stopped him where a series of nightstick jabs wouldn't? Did you see them keep hitting him after he stopped fighting them?

You can all stop defending this action. I didn't say the police didn't act correctly given what they had in this circumstance. It just seems to me that in this day and age there should be a weapon that would disable someone right away, that's all.
