A Hail of Bullets, a Heap of Uncertainty, Apologists As Far As The Eye Can See

"Candace McCoy, a professor of criminal justice at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York, said that officers must be intimately familiar with the neighborhoods they patrol, and understand its natural perimeters, so they can intelligently contain an incident and defuse it short of using deadly force. They can find an in-between tactic, experts said, such as using a Taser, a baton or pepper spray.

But too often, Professor McCoy said, such middle ground for officers disappears. Once it does, and bullets start to fly, there is no telling where they will land."

Bullshit. Plain and simple. But lets continue.

“You take Olympic shooters, and they practice all the time, and they can hit a fly off a cow’s nose from 100 yards,” said Mr. Cerar, the retired commander. “But if you put a gun in that cow’s hand, you will get a different reaction from the Olympic shooter.”

Bullshit X 2. If, Mr. Retired Commander, YOU go apeshit bonkers weak in the knees don't you DARE speak for anyone else. In ANY hostile situation you react as your training has dictated. In other words, your guys suck and you know it. If you by some strange happenstance DON'T, then you're a bigger disgrace than I imagined.

Another good catch from The War on Guns.
