I would have thought that the quality of police is measured not in their ability to shoot and hit something, but in their ability to refrain from doing so.
Your equaling of “well-trained police” with “police marksmanship” is a bit frightening.
Well, in this case, I meant "well-trained in marksmanship", but your point is valid. Training in marksmanship was inadequate; training in verbal de-escalation was almost nonexistent.
How is that frightening? Knowing the proper situation to use a firearm is obviously paramount, but I'd rather cops also be accurate after the decision to use a gun is made.
