Doesn't the video show them pretty much let him walk around the car. There was plenty more than "a few seconds" to react. They already have their guns on him, there's no chance he gets a gun out of the car and turns and shoots them before they react to that specific action, so there's literally no defense to shooting him in the back seven times. None. Zip. Zero. You can "B-B-But the circumstances!" all you want, none of them lead up to that kind of action being the correct course of action.

EDIT: I'm not gonna discuss this any further. Your "enlightened centrist" act is getting old, and this isn't really the topic to do this.
A call was made from a woman who said Jacob Blake had her keys and wouldn't give them back or so on. She gave the police her address. The address flagged Jacob Blake as having a felony warrant at the location.

What we don't know is what happened upon the police showing up and the struggle on the side of the car. We can assess they tried to detain him and he resisted. A lot of back up was called to the scene.

Then the video shows them trying to detain him and being in a struggle with him as he physically resists arrest. He is tased and it has no effect. He then walks to his car with a police officer tugging on him as he does. As he goes into the car, the police officer discharges 7 shots. They immediately administer life saving medical assistance, life flight him from a local hospital, and his life is saved.

The main discrepency comes down to the audio. Bystanders say they heard the police yelling "Put down the knife" and "Don't you do it". Was there a knife? There was a knife of his floorboard of his car. Was this in his hand and dropped when shot? Was he reaching for this? Was it just there? The audio is what would clear that up.

They didn't just let him walk. They were trying to detain him.
