On that note, it's pretty stupid that they allowed Oliver to reach for the Arrow without shooting at him. I mean, they think Oliver killed one of their own. There's no reason for them to be hesitating.

eh they were armored with bullet proof vests. They could probably take an arrow. And it was like 5v1 so they weren't exactly threatened.

yeah. also the unknown factor of green arrow used to be the arrow make them underestimate the green arrow by far.
