They go to the firing range twice a year. Plus they go to the tactic range every year. They have to qualify with a minimum score of 80%. Ok so what now KaaBoom?
Well, then somebody is cheating. Because in real world, they are they are only scoring 1.2%

I hope some local police department is right now seeking out to recruit "KaaBoom" as a street cop …
ONE(1) shot … One suspect down, even when the suspect is shooting at you and/or running …
Amazing skills …
(Of course, as I recall, Det. "Dirty" Harry Callahan could do such things, so I guess it's a reasonable expectation …)
(And, again, of course Deputy Barney Fife needed only one(1) bullet, too …)

Actually they don't. There is oversight at the firing range. If a PO cant score a minimum of 80% they get stripped of their guns and cant go back on patrol until than can achieve a passing score.
Why has there not yet been a serious voice of anger directed at the career psychopath criminal who endangered so many lives by wildly shooting at the cops in a public place … ???
I am 100% certain that he cared not at all who or what he may have hit …
The good thing is that he will go away for a very very long time charged with multiple counts of Attempted Murder of a Police Officer …
And, no …
The DA will not accept a guilty plea bargain to a lesser offense, say, strong arm robbery of a convenience store, or, resisting arrest ...

I won't pretend to be able to operate better than a LEO or anyone else in a stress situation, but any firearms enthusiast will tell you that PD shooting qualifications are total bull$%&. I could pass any PD shooting qualification test with my eyes closed and while holding the gun in my teeth. And I hope I'm not supposed to be impressed with a policeman hitting the range 3 times a year.
I'm absolutely not trying to insult cops, but there's a misperception that being one automatically makes you some sort of marksman. I think this is especially the case in NYC where there's a good possibility that they've never even touched a firearm before setting foot in police academy.
