Afraid of aiming too well and getting fired? Maybe each hoped one of the others would hit him.
The author of this book has some observations on police shootings. Essentially, they are engaging in “display behavior.” Think of a cat fluffing up to look bigger and hissing. Nobody should carry a gun before reading this book. (Also, had a relative involved with the study of a military police shooting where the cops fired 200 rounds and hit none of the suspects despite the danger presented to the exposed under cover agent. The take on it was, they were so afraid of what killing somebody would do to their careers they were incapable of shooting to kill, or even hit, the perps. The report was changed by a general as the conclusions were unacceptable.)
In the video half the cops fell to the ground and fired aimlessly. Hit nothing. This is what passes for law enforcement these days and what is “protecting” schools. Nice marksmanship there Sgt. Yorks.

That was my thought also. Why risk losing your job, your savings to hire a lawyer and possibly go to prison. It appears that the police were in a no win situation.
Well they couldn’t SEE the guy — he was inside the RV and they were simply firing at the RV. No knowledge of where in the RV he might be.
Now if any of the police shots missed the RV entirely.... that would be like “can’t hit the broad side of a barn!”
I made the mistake of going to my range when there were a half dozen LEO’s there, mostly states. Never ever again. Terrible shots and range safety is not in their vocabulary. I no longer shoot at that range.
