Remeber too that police officers train just like most other people on paper that is not shooting back. When you get to train with simunitions or the like you get more of a feel for it, and despite the fact that it is paint pellets loaded over powder instead of lead you get a good idea of a portion of what it feels like to be in a firefight. Despite the "friendly" training nature of it your hands shake, weapons jam, and you see just how much EVERYBODY can miss when they are shaken up. One in the head, one in the chest, all works good if you can keep your brains together long enough to do it. Afterwards you can fall apart. Fall apart before or during and you are in trouble.

Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun. - Ecclesiastes 8:15 KJV

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
