Title: And They Only Want Police To Have Guns ??

I'm assuming all of these guys were, "Professionally Trained".

"Nobody was struck by gunfire during this incident. The evidence in the case so far indicates Armstrong fired two rounds from a weapon, and that seven officers fired 65 rounds from their department-issued weapons,".

I've seen stories of many incidents like that. 

Also, the yearly training and qualification for many LEOs is 20 or 30 rounds once a year at a stationary range target.

0/65 shots connected while they were rolling around on the ground. Good job guys. I didn't know the Keystone Cops were alive and well in San Francisco.

Sitting here with Col Cooper's 1965 treatise on handgun shooting.

Rule 3

BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET

And in the explanation.

Quote
Shoot only at what you have positively identified.  A man who shoots at a sound, or a shadow, or into an area he cannot check is criminally irresponsible.

Just look at the long drawn out process of Grand Jury, trials, union interference, Civil trails, and huge cash outlay to family of a criminal.
