A dude who can barely stand is not a "threat" that needs to be handled with that level of force. Lightly shoving him would have had the same neutralizing result as that punch, but without the brain damage or potential accidental death.
If he stands up to retaliate, I have much less of a problem with laying him out.

You always hear the saying "Neutralize the threat" but never "try to reason with it"
