Officer shot and killed naked unarmed man under circumstances, taken in the light most favorably to plaintiff, that defendant admits would violate Fourth Amendment; decedent had physically pummeled one officer and was not subdued by a taser and was advancing on second officer; circumstances did not place unconstitutionality of second officer firing “beyond debate,” thus he was entitled to qualified immunity.
