What is amazing is that there were “two” (2) suspects against all those police and amidst all that, the police fired hundrends of rounds to eventually get one and the second a little later. What would they have done if one of those terrorists were genuinely skilled operators? What would they have done if there had been six more to make a team? At the way things went two were a handful for the police. Police are not skilled with their equipment but they were trained and most had initial training many years ago. Most of them qualify twice a year, fire maybe close to 100 rounds per shoot, and if they get about 3/4 on target in timed sequences that are so long it’s silly they pass.

Police operate on the principle of local superiority. Many are barely proficient otherwise.
