False. Being a big patrol fish in a small pond city doesn't make anyone an expert on responding to an ambush.

Tactical operators and military train to shoot through windshields during ambushes. It can be done effectively if you stay aware of the likely way the bullets deflect. Maybe he has prior training or was simply trying to survive the best way possible. A car door doesn't stop bullets despite what you may have been incorrectly trained for.

It's a lot easier and safer to be a wednesday afternoon quarterback behind a keyboard or phone. There are too many know it alls with lots of time on who actually don't know much because they laid down most of their careers.
