Yes, he did not do his duty, I agree. But to presume all deputies are trained or able to confront an armed individual in a situation like this is naive.
I work with a lot of LEO's who work in Juvenile probation or as resource officers and most have never experienced any live situations on duty and they receive basically no training post academy that would help them in a situation like this.
But it's tough, finding people that can be good resource officers and be the type of officer you want in a situation like this is very hard.
