Maybe they called it botched because they believe the police should have had their guns out and disarmed the fellow before he had a chance to pull a gun and shoot at them. The police are fortunate that he didn't kill one of them.

Killed a dealer and that was botched? Perhaps the RTP need to "botch" more often.
