that can still kill if fired at the head instead of the torso (did you read the article?)

It's a longer-range alternative to beanbag rounds, which are also lethal if misused. Used very carefully, they can distract someone and cause a lot of pain without causing lethal injury, but it's not something that would be used in lieu of a firearm, or a taser for that matter.
