Maybe they just mean that the officer will not be charged for his bad marksmanship. WTH? 5 shots to the arm? I don’t think that is what he was taught in police training. More like three to the chest and two to the head.

You do realize that he had just been punched in the head and one of his eyes was out of commission and he was still reeling from the punches to his head?

He might have been having trouble aiming with only one eye.

Bad marksmanship? The national average of hits in shots fired by police is 17%. Wilson hit six out of six. That’s 100%.

FWIW, on another thread someone hypothesized that the police officer might have been blinded and/or dazed from that eye injury.

How about you display your marksmanship skills immediately after suffering a crushed eye socket with a 6’4” 300lb perp on drugs bearing down on you?

Try to shoot straight with your eye socket crushed.

Try shooting a charging man with a recently busted eye socket.

Yeah! 'Cause John McLane and Martin Riggs can hit guys at 100 yards with a 9mm Baretta while rolling around on the floor, right? Why can't real cops do that?
Do I really need a /sarc?

Keep in mind he was probably shooting with only one eye functional.

(Its like 1933, mixed with the Carter 70s, plus the books 1984 and Animal Farm, all at the same time.)
