The question was to all, not diected to any particular person.
Your answer was better this time but lacked an important component which 
through example I will impart to you.This will be familiar to vets of all 
wars and is so simple it escapes most officers
My second week working in East St Louis, Il replacving an officer killed in 
line of duty, I was in my first gunfight, yes have been in several over the 
years.  When it was oover a veteran dept member pried the riot gun from my 
clentched hands with a "simple statement,
Mike, ya did fine, you shot back!
A few years later the best shot in an adjoining dept called for assistance 
after an ambush. I responded to scene and found officers 2 litterally shaking 
inb their boots. One was theitr depts best shot, aarmy reservist with a wall 
full of trophies in combat matches.
Neither would reenter the  area because it was "unsafe" and both stated that 
there was no return fire.  depts are both short staffed and only when a 
supervisor was called out and arrived  min later was a search conducted. The 
only thing we found was tw notebooks and oner badge case on thwe ground and 
it was not the perps.Perps long gone.
At one point in 1979 I was "protected" by a FBI SWAT team in East St. Louis 
because of ambush situations.
I  hope this illustrates what was lacking.I wanted an officer first that 
would shoot back. Merely being "best shot doersn't always bring you home, and 
this example is probably the clearest that you will see.
