In that moment I’m not sure what I would have done
My first thought was "well I sure wouldn't have wanted to go in there either", but then I remembered I'm just a random dude and not a trained officer whose job it is to do exactly that. Yeah it would suck knowing your life could potentially end in a minute or 2 but I mean that's literally the dude's job and what he is trained for.

Honest question: is that what he is trained to do? Or is that more of a SWAT type of deal?

I agree and disagree. Yes, its his job to confront and stop the threat but at what cost? He didn't agree to the $25,000 a year job to be killed if necessary. Is the probability higher in that line of work? yes... But its not a requirement. There is no line in the job application that states you must take a bullet to save others. The officers life is just as important as any person that was out there. I am not saying what he did was right, but I will not be the one to judge him for it.
If the situation is too hot and more officers are needed, then it is what it is.

Yeah, I'm not sure if this makes him a coward, but it's pretty obvious they're not suitable for the perils of the job.
