"you promise to do the right thing and stand up to evil in exchange for money and prestige and being put on a schedule filled with people who have made that promise."
This is not an adult understanding of LEO.
It is not dereliction of duty. That is a military standard that applies to the military. And it would be impossible to prove he knew in advance that he would behave like a coward once he faced real danger.
He is a disappointment as a human being. That is not a criminal offense. The punishment for being a poor excuse for a person is public shaming. Which this trial caused -- his cowardice and disregard of children's lives was exposed via mass media to the entire world. His face was on every newspaper front page, like he was a depraved criminal. He has been punished with the ultimate shaming; beyond tar and feathers and scarlet letters.
