Towards the end when Meyers has been shot and is on the ground. It’s like why would you wanna get close to him even if he was dead?

That cop had no brain.

Today, he would have just shot him 5 more times. 😉

Maybe he felt that his responsibility as an officer was to approach the suspect after he was shot and see if he is still alive, in case he needs to render aid. Remember he does not know Michael is supernatural. To him Michael is an insane killer, but with the exception of Laurie, Loomis and the viewing audience, most rational people would assume he is critically injured, probably dead and no longer a threat.

He was careless. His first move should have been to remove the weapon.

Absolutely. I stand corrected.
