He didn't pose a threat when he's kneeling on the ground.
Sure he posed a threat when he was actively hitting someone. Of course. Had they fired at him then, no issue obviously needed to be done. But that was over 20 minutes prior. Had they fired at him when he's on two feet, circumstances may warrant it.
Firing at him while lurking on the ground when no one is around? Nah. No way.
Sadly funny the person who will most agree with me on this is the actual ARWEN shooter who is certainly wishing he had waited to shoot him.
When do you think he posed a bigger threat. Before the ARWEN shot when he had a knee on the ground and was acting more aloof unconcerned with the police or after the ARWEN shot when he was charging at the officer?
Presumably you will agree with me that it's the latter. If you do something that increases the threat, that's escalation. That's not what cops should be doing.
