Tell me again how the 9mm and "ballistics technology" are better than a caliber beginning with a four.

I thought that the reason for the 9mm was that these municipalities didn't want dead perps.

That or dead bystanders. The lawyers for the municipalities know exactly who the municipality hired.

I believe the ranking order for deaths involved with a shooting are:

Perp shoots other perp.
Cop shoots bystander.
Perp shoots cop.
Cop shoots perp.
Perp shoots bystander.

What I recall hearing more often is that a city doesn’t want to pay extra for the ammunition for the .45, and some “smaller officers” don’t think they can handle the recoil, which would mean more extensive and expensive training for them.

Nope, it’s a cost per round issue.
