While I likely would have tried to sneak in and get a shot at the perp from cover, with clear and certain egress, I would not expect every sworn officer to be held to the standard of suicide.

If that is the standard my FR brethren want in LEO, they should endeavor to codify it in their state. And if successful, watch cops resign in droves.

Entry into that building would have a very, very high risk of being shot by a .223 round. Nearly certain. And nearly certain to not have affected the outcome.

BS he was the only shot those kids had and he and the rest of those pig cowards hid outside, disband them all, worthless pigs. The average citizen would go in an draw the fire at least, if he were shooting at me then he wouldn’t be shooting at kids. pig needs to rot in jail then hell, worthless coward.

I disagree with your tactical assessment.

The murderer was not a trained combat veteran, a competitive shooter, or a hunter.

He had plenty to distract him and give incoming opposition an opening.

Taking a .223 round from him was far, far from certain.

High risk, sure. Maybe in the 10-30% range.

The risk of additional deaths of innocents while Scott Peterson waffled and waited...100%.

This is not a suicide standard.

Peterson had no reason to believe there was more than one shooter, and plenty of reason to believe there was only one.

It is clear that Peterson's training on active shooters was sub-standard or non-existent. People do what they are trained to do.

The facts of the incident will be brought out in a trial. The defense will surely make the argument you’ve laid out. However, I don’t think any of that was really the basis of Peterson’s attempt to have the lawsuit dismissed before trial.
