Exactly. I am no expert nor do I make the pretense. I do know that it takes time to transition from one mindset to another. The more experienced you are, the less time. Also, some individuals have the inherent ability to make the transition more quickly than others. Even in some street confrontation that isn't deadly, it takes some moments to realize what is happening. "You're kidding, right?" I would say that the Miami shootout is a sort of example. Even though the FBI agents knew what was coming, it still took precious moments to process what was happening. Platt and Matix just went for it, balls to the wall.
I don't know as much about the LA shootout.
