I’m just gonna say this about all that and this is in no way an attempt to act like a bad arse.
From all the tactical shooting courses and actual real live shooting experiences in the Middle East, i would say that my ability to confront someone with a rifle in my hands is well above average just from actually doing it in real time.
So, i would feel very confident to take on a super coward that goes after unarmed kids with a rifle in my hands. I’m winning that fight 10 out of 10 times.
So for the officers to not even attempt to engage was extremely pathetic

All you have to do is *something.* It doesn't matter if you fire the shot, but you doing anything unfreezes everyone else from their stunned state. One of my favorite of Murphy's Rules of Combat is, "Anything you do can get you killed, including doing nothing." Do ANYTHING.
The problem? Risk avoidance training that occurs all over the west, including LEOs. Not excusing inaction, but if you're 32 years old and have a wife, the factor of getting fired is not zero. We saw a lot of this in COVID, where my doctor couldn't approve a vaccine exemption based on conditions she'd treated me for previously, because the major health consortium told her what she was allowed to do, and not allowed to do, regardless of her clinical experience with me.
