The bottom line is that whatever his 'impairment' may have been at the time, he did nothing to deserve being shot two times in the front, four times in the back, and one while lying dead on the ground.

With plenty of time to analyze the situation and with hindsight one can say that, but considering what the officers knew at the time and what they observed, they did what they were trained to do.

I agree with the 'hindsight' issue. Calling the play from a computer screen, and being faced with an 'unknown' and possibly 'under the influence' citizen who is reportedly armed are two different things.

That still doesn't explain the last bullet in the back, while he was laying on the ground.
