Original Note:
The shot is from a LESS LETHAL device, the use of this it may be because the man in the video was aproaching the officers which can be interpreted by them as a way to get closer and grab a weapon from the police. This also depends on the rules of engagement of the department. https://letacusa.com/events/rules-of-engagement-use-of-force-and-de-escalation/#:~:text=Rules%20of%20engagement%20refer%20to,Statutes%2C%20Policy%2DProcedure%20and%20Command
