I don't disagree with you, but counterpoint: Have you seen the marksmanship of the average cop? During the acorn incident, both cops discharged their service weapon's entire magazine at the guy that they had handcuffed in the back of their police cruiser and didn't manage to hit him a single time. That's 24 rounds (i assume) that they shot at a stationary, human-sized target at relatively close range and missed every single time. I had better accuracy then that when I was 10 with my pellet gun.
