You should be able to select it on the console even if it still says "Stopping" and select the Stop action again, this time it should have a force.  
  
If for some reason this doesn't work, you can issue it from the AWS CLI:

```
aws --region  ec2 stop-instances --instance-ids  --force
```

added {code} md
