It’s 1000% doable.

So, while hanging from a ladder with one hand, you would pull your pistol out of it's holster, disengage the safety, raise the pistol above you and holding it with only one hand, fire at the suspect who had a rifle already pointed at your head ?

I think you are overestimating your abilities (and your courage). Try raising a pistol above your head and firing with one hand with your hand cocked at at 90 degree angle. I don't think you will find it 'surprisingly easy'.

OMG... You really ARE serious, aren’t you?
Where to start?

Not sure what the LEO had.. Glocks DON’T HAVE SAFETIES.

The cop, COULD have, seeing the guys with a gun,
1. Ducked down. below the roof line. and radioed

2 And then either popped up and fired AT the shooter.

3 Shot a round, or a whole mag into the air. A pistol weighs >5lbs. The LEO should have been capable of doing that.

Or 4, could have shot into the ground, Like you said, “FOR THE CHILDREN!!”

I really think you need to go someplace and get some range time in.
