The officer had no choice. Only in the movies can one fire a gun while hanging onto a ladder. It takes two hands to fire a gun.
Even if you could fire a gun with one hand, the recoil would likely throw you backwards off the ladder. Also you are an easy target for someone on the area above you.

The only choice was to retreat and call for help. The assassin was forced into firing right away and possibly that added to the the factors of him not getting off a deadly shot.

Trying to blame this officer is just a diversion by the media .

ALL OF THIS IS WRONG.

the cop could had even discharged his gun in the air as an alert.

I'm sorry, but have you ever fired a handgun before?
