and should be honored for it. It was their choice to go in like that and it worked out well, they are now heroes.

It might not have, so I'll stop short of requiring this of police when there is no cover, there are no windows, and it could easily be suicide. I would expect them to take a few minutes to develop a plan to distract the shooter long enough for someone to go in and make sure he doesn't shoot anyone else.
