Ordinarily, he'd balk at jumping right into a fight - but this doesn't seem like a situation anybody is getting out of peacefully. And maybe he doesn't feel such a wealth of sympathy for a man willing to torture his own daughter for information. Nor the officer purportedly enjoying it.
He isn't sure which one it is he hits, because he's just aiming away from the girl, but the plasma makes a mess of things immediately, reducing the man to a puddle of glowing green slime. ]
