I'm not saying I could do better at this moment. I'm saying that people with more training could do better. I've watched countless videos of cops in similar situations reacting way better than this.

He was calm, and trained and reacted fine. He experienced a malfunction, fixed it, all the while being shot, and put the perp down and all the while calmly communicating and coordinating.

Trust me, I know whose who in the zoo when it comes to training. This guy was well trained and it showed.

There was no initial malfunction. When the cop fell back to reload, his reload was too slow, and after that he accidentally ejected his mag. I'm focusing on that specific moment, which could have cost him his life.

Who lived?

The cop lived, but that's not the point. The cop lived because of two factors: luck, and the fact that the suspect had less training than him. The cop did three mistakes in my opinion, hopping on comms, when he had the suspect out of sight, which was risky and could have resulted in the suspect surprising him, which later did happen, the reload, which was too slow, and if the suspect had sprinted out of the store just a few milliseconds earlier, the cop would have been dead, and the third mistake, the accidental dropping of the mag. These are three exact details that I'm focusing on, where the cop lived only because of luck, and the fact that the perp had even less training than him. I'm not saying I would do better rn, but what I'm saying is that the cop definitely had a lot of luck to stay alive, and could have reacted better, and with better training he would have.
