If all of that is true, it's still human nature. Cowardice, bad decisions, and cruelty are not uncommon police behaviors, especially. We can't reform it away because you can't train people to reliably put themselves in danger and make selfless decisions. Even the military can't reliably do that.

This was an absolutely insane, extreme situation that should never happen so that we never find out whether police are heroes or not. And it doesn't need to keep happening because we know how to prevent it.
