I give the cop the benefit of the doubt that "cock" means to cock the hammer, rather than assume incompetence.

The reporter, may have misinterpreted, what the police said. It could be that the police said " he was trying to rack the slide, to cock the gun" and they simply shortened it, not knowing what racking the slide meant. If the BG was just trying to cock the hammer, it is a relatively quick action, with the thumb. JMHO

Well, I guess that didn't go like he planned. Play stupid games....
