I've done a bunch of those shoot / don't shoot scenarios... They can be pretty humbling.

This is why you play Quake other first person shooters - it helps desensitize you - you seen a unknown with a gun, he's a target, not a person.

Ack! 3 shot burst post button.

I went through that simulator once. The only way to beat it repeatedly is to simply keep the weapon already trained on the perp 100% of the time.

I took one of these tests in Orlando. The instructor told me there was good news and bad news. The good news was everyone I shot at I killed. The bad news was I killed everyone.
That's why I'm not a cop.

I have a parole officer friend who was shot a couple of years ago. He walked up the steps and knocked on the door and the guy fired a 12 gauge through the door and hit my friend dead center in his chest with a single slug. Luckily my friend was wearing his kevlar and ended up with a cracked sternum, and three broken ribs.
The convict ended up in a 6 hour standoff with police who finally negotiated him out. The guy was charged with attempted murder but convicted of aggravated assault with intent.

Good article. The police officers I know would appreciate the public getting a taste, even a simulated taste, of the sort of split-second, life-and-death decisions they have to make.
