I expect my computer to crash, my car to skid on icy roads and my oven to sometimes burn food. If I had a really good gun I wouldn't expect it to work flawlessly 100% of the time.
I suppose police officers need some kind of training and mental preparation for that moment when the gun fails to shoot. What that preparation is, I don't know. Seems like the only thing you can count on to survive in such a scenario is that you'll turn into a wild animal and/or Bruce Lee.
This guy was a hero and used his animal instinct to survive, others might not - especially if they became totally dependent on their gun and the idea that it would never fail.
