How did these two cops armed only with handguns do tactically against this criminal with a rifle?

Obviously they won by virtue of killing the shooter but both cops got shot. How could they have avoided it?

Could have avoided it by not being cops.
Awful: they got too close, didn't position themselves with crossfire avoidance, freaked out and scattered when shit went down, didn't remain calm

they could've moved make bullets not hit.
Was he trying to commit suicide by cop or was he trying to kill them?
The description says he was mentally unstable and suicidal.
Would make more sense to just shoot himself.

fuck it'd suck being a cop in america. I swear every week you'd get into a fucking shootout.

Almost everyone never fires their weapon in their entire career.

It probably feels that way since 50 states is a lot of area to cover. If you just took one state and counted the number of police shootouts in there it'd seem almost insignificant.

The guy with the bodycam was totally out of it, running around with an empty gun. That said getting shot with a rifle isn't exactly relaxing so I can see why he would do that given typical police training (or lack thereof)

That's crazy you'd think they'd want to occasionally practice firing at the range but I guess not

He provided no backup or aide to his fellow officer.
He was apparently gutshot but still, he was able to run around pointlessly he was equally able to run over and check on his comrade. He also ignored his superior on the radio demanding an exact location multiple times.
He did not seem to have the demeanor I'd want in a fellow officer

by not having their bodies aligned with his muzzle when he pulled the trigger?

You know what he means.
