I like my chances of having the extra protection of wall studs, fire blocks, drywall, stucco, and anything else that could stop or slow a projectile down as opposed to a shitty metal apartment door. But that’s just me. You do you.
Studs give you under 10% chance of deflecting a bullet at 16" oc. Fire blocking? Sure, if the cop is 8 foot tall or in the apartment next door. The lathe the extremely thin stucco layer goes over may put up the most resistance, and that metal is thinner than a shitty apartment door You obviously don't build, despite tossing out word salad of construction words.

There is an argument to me made that had he still been to the side, there is a chance based on what his field of view was, that he doesn’t see the gun in the first place and this whole thing ends with everyone alive.
No, the argument starts from moment 1 when the officer arrives. The woman he sent away from the scene was the lone "witness."
Officer: are they fighting
Witness: redacted audio, for some odd reason, followed by some hearsay about she says it happens frequently.
Then...
Officer: "which door"
Witness: "I'm not sure," then some story about hearing noise 2 fricking weeks ago and an admission she had no idea where the slap noise/arguing came from. Then came some bullshite about why she didn't call the cops that day.
Officer: again with the which door question
Witness: now magically knows it's 1401
That should send up a frick ton of red flags to everyone with a shred of critical thinking skills. Officer then sends away the "witness" who moments earlier had no idea which door,cto direct backup to him. Officer doesn't wait for backup, despite your claims of how dangerous the situation is, proceeds to engage someone in a highly suspicious manner, then kills them fractions of a second after they open their door. Not a single fricking thing about this event is good police work, outside of arriving post call. Straight downhill from that moment on.

Doors and windows. Cops and military are trained to not stand in front of them. It’s obvious you have never been shot at or even been close to a situation where bullets would be flying.
It’s obvious you just want to argue so have fun simple jack.
