Even if any of us had experience being a cop or a soldier in a shootout, we still wouldn't be able to claim certainty about what happened.
Your assertion that three cops had to continue shooting just because a fourth cop had been shot and was bleeding is questionable at best.  Is that the right way to get first aid for him? He was probably still able to walk or crawl.  They probably could have gotten him to cover without firing any more shots.  I think they should have been trained that way.

Speak not of which you know nothing. There were multiple members of this drug ring and they had no way of knowing how many people could have been in the house, waiting to open fire on them.

My god you watch too many movies.

People, cops or not, usually have no way of knowing how many guns or bullets there are in any particular place.
So does that mean the best course of action, if you get shot at, is to just keep shooting your gun until they stop shooting theirs?  Even if you're in an apartment building where your bullets can easily reach the next unit over?
