Problem is many officers as well as Im sure a vast majority of these keyboard commando posters dont realize they dont actually have the fortitude to do what needs done until it actually needs to be done because this is the first time they faced such a situation in reality.
If you've never actually been in a gunfight etc you have no way of knowing how you will react, function, etc.
Every officer and civilan gun carrier likes to envision themselves as the good guy with a gun who ends the bad guy, but FEW actually train realistically to be able to do so, let alone have actual gunfight experience to know how they will perform. Id wager a vast majority couldnt function let alone hit the broadside of a barn under the stress of a real life two way gun battle. Consider the number of rounds fired by "trained" police officers vs the number of hits in alot of officer involved shootings. Now replace the officers with some civilian who only practices shooting stationary paper targets at the range from their Weaver stance. A good example was on that video of the church shooting a few years back where the fat old guy jumped up and fumbled his draw attempt and ate a load of 00 from the perp before the other church member brained the perp with a single well aimed 357 Sig round.
In no way condoning or excusing the alleged actions of the PD in this case, just injecting some real world reality.
