A thug shot a knife-armed man over and over, and is being sued by the man's relatives. An appeals court ruled he is not entitled to immunity.

I can understand how a person can become enraged and continue shooting someone threatening even after that person has ceased to be dangerous. But people should not do a job that involves carrying a gun unless they have enough self control not to do that. Once Zion was on the ground, he with his knife was not an immediate threat to anyone; Higgens should have stopped shooting immediately then.
