It is possible to beat someone to the trigger who has already drawn a weapon but in many situations its unlikely. I think these four officers were totally caught off guard and certainly they would have found it difficult to draw from a sitting position and who knows maybe due to table position two of the officers may have even had there back to the perp.
There are things these officers could have done differently but to be honest I think most people in the same situation would have done as these officers did.
We can't live thinking that every second presents a mortal danger nor can we disregard that in reality some level of danger exist everywhere we go.
