You have to have the right personality to accurately fire a gun and hit a target in a high stress situation like that. A personality that doesn't succumb to the stress response. Something like 30-40% of people can't even control their hands well enough to dial 911 in a serious emergency. The officer obviously froze up and couldn't control himself well enough to shoot accurately. I think he was trying to shoot the guy, he even fired the first shot. But he froze up and couldn't hit the target. I put considerable blame on him for getting involved in a profession he wasn't suited for, and blame his employers for not effectively screening him out.
