No...you are there as a uniform Member with your 9mm S&W. The guy is carrying an assault rifle and you have just been in a firefight with a known violent person who has used guns in the past and who has assaulted Police in the passt and said he wanted "suicide by Cop". You wait until ERT arrives. They have body armour that will actually stop assault rifle bullets, unlike the stuff you are wearing, and other specialized equipment. They are trained and equipped to deal with exactly this type of situation. You stay in cover and let them do their jobs so that nobody else gets hurt as this is happening in a built up area and assault rifle bullets can go a long distance. You don't go running up to a car, exposing yourself to gunfire that will kill you if it hits you. It has nothing to do with a lack of courage and everything to do with handling a violent deadly shooter in the proper way so that a minimum number of people get hurt. Hollywood movies are not reality. When you get shot in real life you get wounded, disabled or die. Only a stupid person deliberately exposes themselves to that when there is a proper, safer alternative.
