There are definitely protestors who crossed the threshold of obstruction and they can and have been dealt with without exercising deadly force.
This specific example, at the moment of the incident, the man in question was not an immediate threat to the agents.
One cannot gun down a man on the basis that some other people were obstructing your law enforcement duties.
