The Gang That Can't Shoot Straight
So what is done about the two in three shots fired by officers in the most densely populated metropolitan area in the country that do NOT hit their intended target?
Is that acceptable?
Are officers not accountable for every bullet they fire, just like a citizen would be?
How will full-auto fire affect that already piss poor hit ratio?
Note, the most competent shooting units in the U.S Army almost never use automatic weapons fire. Especially when hits count, and collateral damage is unacceptable, which I would assume is also the NYPD's desired result.
How often do NYPD officers currently familiarization fire and qualify with their assigned weapons?
Are ranges and ammunition regularly available to them?
The NYPD has more officers assigned than a U.S. Army Division.
Is this a wise policy?
Finally, how many full-auto weapons lost per year will be an acceptable number?
