Police has few expert marksmen. Camp Perry holds law enforcement competitions and these guys are amazing!
But the rank and file are not like these experts.
The experts are usually somewhere on call, I have never hear of any of them being involved in BLM type of shooting. It seems officers involved are often new, quite often female.
They are not even armed that well. They usually have some standard service pistol, which is east to carry, but not a competition material. Lots of money would have to be spend to upgrade every policeman on the street.
Finally, there is the adrenalin rush. It is a lot easier to aim in the range than in real world situation, if your life is in danger.
We’re heading that way. “Except the police will be BLM & MS13 types. “Streets must be kept clean in more than one way.”
Interesting ...I assume you’re a LEO shooter....SWAT OR SORT
my experience is quite different and from a different perspective but I get your point
On several experiences in America I’ve pulled my weapon and not used it...
I’ve seen cops do that too
And it stopped the threat....I was prepared to shoot but preferred not to....
Although once I did come close to a thigh shot with my 38SW....yes that’s right ....not a .special....drunk kid breaking in....a judgement call....I was alone
Long story why lol
Overseas where because of my line of work I hired mercenary help they were more the line of training you describe
Shoot kill
Brit and South African and former Rhodesian tier one guys....SLRs.....BRIT FAL.....God I love that weapon...but oh so heavy....
Anyhow their attitude was “you stay low....here’s your pistol” ....Vektor
...we had Star and FN too. And some AKMs too....and G3s
“...let us do what you pay us for”...I think the semiauto was a Comanche fire alarm ...break open in case of capture
Southern boy in a Bush War with no training except deer hunting
Other hot spots around the globe but Sierra Leone came closest to conventional war.....nothing akin to A Shau valley or second dustup Fallujah
I do have the distinction of having been shot....something I’d wager is fairly uncommon here...although not in Sierra Leone
When my geologist ran over a land mine and was about blown in thirds....we had to fly him air ambulance from a dirt strip near Yengema to Geneva.....50,000 dollar ride
He survived and thrives now in Rio and Brasil....a fine man
I turned to my partner ...of several..but who was also from Mississippi and said this is not a place for us....I moved my endeavors to Amazonia which had its own hum of violence uncertainty and profit but without RPGs and heavy weapons and believe it or not the savages were less savage..lol
Nothing like an equatorial African savage...something in the water
Thanks for sharing .....that btw...the most I’ve ever shared in the open here....and there is a lot more
But we’re not Johnson measuring..
I respect training
Main thing I caught in Brasil was a. Wife....lol.....yellow bikini on my homepage...
She’s still around ....her and rib number two are thick as thieves
Isn’t weird how life plays out..
I shoulda gone Mormon then knowing it would end all my wives buddies
Nope, military veteran that went through Security Forces school and DM training. Did shipboard security on special weapons, VBSS and anti-terrorist work, before it was cool.
Really bad idea.....really bad.
