Like other high adrenaline and fast moving events there had to be young and inexperienced agents under pressure who could have set off the firing of weapons at any moment.
Would have made Kent State a footnote to much worse.
Also that low IQ and highly agitated killer of Ashlii Babbit who later called shooting her his only alternative to the situation although she was unarmed and never touched him. Lt. Michael Byrd.
Excellent points.
