I also believe he should be sheltered from litigation though as well for the simple fact everyone likes to pretend they'll turn into Rambo in these situations the reality is fear locks people up. Anyone who knows people who have been on active deployments in the military can tell you stories of fellow soldiers curling up when gunshots start flying. It gets real fast.
Public sector agencies and employees should only be sheltered from litigation if policies and procedures were followed and those policies and procedures are legal. If the stated policies were not followed then there should be some form of reparation. If the policies were followed and they were not legal (meaning they violated constitutional or statutory law), then there should be reparations made and the policies need to be updated. If the policies are legal and were followed, then there should be no reparations made, though the policies should be assessed for their effectiveness.
