He's made an assessment based upon the information currently available, and said that his position may change if more information became available. Sounds pretty reasonable to me.
I agree with him that citing the 25ft standard is ridiculous. That standard clearly states that it applies to situations where a gun needs to be drawn, aimed and fired. This is a guy who has a gun drawn and aimed at him already. If he made an aggressive move towards the police I'd have no issue with the incident, but he didn't. He made a subtle move of maybe a foot or two and was still well inside the car. He looks to still be behind the 'yellow line' that most buses have near the doorway. As I said earlier, there could be plenty more to it, but based on the videos I don't see sufficient justification for use of lethal force.
