Firearm training of police is laughable and probably worse than the casual shooter who goes to a range once a month.
The average cop probably quals once a year with his glock 19 and spends the rest of the year stroking it thinking about how he's billy badass because he has a badge. You can watch the videos, any real resistance and they go back screaming asking for 10 of their buddies to do the spray and pray. When they were hunting Dorner they were even unloading full standard mags on random trucks just loosely fitting the description and still not managing to incapacitate the occupants.
LAPD officers were guarding one of the officers on Dorner's manifesto hit list on Feb. 7, 2013 when a blue Toyota pickup truck allegedly matching the suspect's vehicle drove up to the scene. Police opened fire and aimed at least 100 rounds at the occupants of the truck who they mistakenly believed to be Dorner's.
Two women were delivering newspapers on Feb. 7, 2013, when LAPD officers guarding the Torrance home of a target named in an online manifesto blasted at least 100 rounds. Margie Carranza and her mother, Emma Hernandez, were wounded and rushed to local hospitals. Carranza suffered a minor bullet wound, and Hernandez was shot twice in the back and reported in stable condition.
Sorry, I meant in comparison to teenagers with switches on their glocks.
Cops are crap with their guns, but generally better than someone who has never trained at all and is waiting for a chance to shoot at something for the first time.
I'm well aware of the American hero, Chris Dorner, who exposed LAPD and genuinely made them feel fear that they may see consequence for the first time. His methods are up for debate but he's done something only lies about fentanyl has been able to do.
