You understand what a "go" would have done, right? The guy is in a crowded space, filled with people. "Taking the shot" from a Reaper drone means the firing off a Hellfire II 114 missile with enough explosive power to take out a crowd of a hundred or more people in a crowded area, and maim many more.

LOL

You're assuming they mean they didn't have the shot until he was on scene. But, it says they knew about him in advance. AND< the report actually GIVES a reason they said no. (Hint, it wasn't the crowd)
