I’m laughing at the risible assertion that a police officer is required to be “an expert with firearms of every description.”
The simple fact of the matter is that police officers, by and large, aren’t nearly as adept with their firearms as your average gun enthusiast who practices at the range regularly.
Many cops only ever fire their weapons the bare minimum that it takes to qualify with their issue weapon, much less doing as much shooting as it takes to be “expert” with guns of “every description.” If all police were actually expert-level shootists, we would see far fewer examples of police firing dozens of bullets at a suspect and hitting him once, twice, or not at all.
