The truth is they will never know until presented with the opportunity.

I work in search and rescue after disaster and can tell you it isn't that easy. I have seen testosterone driven firemen back down when there are real dangers involved. Expectations of heroism are not realistic and it utter bullshit to try and attach a legal standard to it.

But there was this "The investigation showed that he did not investigate the source of the gunshots, retreated during the shooting while victims were still under attack and directed other law enforcement officers to remain 500 feet away from the building." Directing the other officers away may be the bulk of this.
