Guess the other officers need to understand when not to fire if someone is going to use less lethal first. If procedure was broken here, the cops should be released but i wouldn’t call it criminal by any means.
That is a good point, not sure what the communication protocol was. The less-lethal shot was apparently fired first. If that was not coordinated, it's a bad show all around (the sound of gunfire can provoke more gunfire). That doesn't mean the kid should not have been shot, but your point stands in terms of procedure.
