There was zero reason to fire. Especially as he was crouched down and would never close the gap in time. There was no threat. There was no reason to shoot. Blood is certainly on his hands because he got impatient.
This where a mental health expert, or you know anyone but a cop, would be able to tell you that shooting a person with rubber pellets will more often provoke, not calm, the person.

The irony of this idea. That police need extra tools so that they don't shoot people. Then they use one and it's considered an escalation.
Time and distance on 17 Avenue x 40th Street SE... alrighty then.
