I could not agree more.
A statistic I have heard is that over 90% of police longrifle shots are under 100m and we all know that 99% of handgun fights are 21 feet or less.
Police are not trained to be offensive, just "tactical"
Now that does not mean we cannot teach them to be as accurate as possible to do their jobs.
I'd actually do not want them "spraying and praying" while attempting to take down "one" badguy......
(We just had a cop accidentally kill a 5 year old in a gun battle here in the Phoenix area just a month or two ago. Better training could have prevented the accident......)
