I don't buy a motionless guy with his hands raised is a threat to two cops with guns drawn and leveled. In practice we could draw and shoot a target 25 feet away in .5 of a second. With their guns leveled reaction time would be a tine fraction of that.
Many people are aware that the US Army first adopted the 1911 .45 ACP because their .38 revolvers weren't dropping charging Moros with sufficient regularity even with good hits, the mortally wounded Moros living long enough to inflict mayhem with their edged weapons.
What isn't widely reported is that the .45 didn't work much better.

Around here cops with the drop on a guy with three guns waited to shoot him until he leveled the gun to shoot them which is a much more reasonable standard.
Ya, levels the playing field, fair play and all that....
