I guess that comes from lack of exposure to guns before they join police? Must give the bad guys a good feeling.....

Cops too scared to aim their guns, says firearms training officer | thetelegraph.com.au

They have used a file photo from 1974.....
In my State, Police use the Glock 22, although plainclothed or special forces use the 23 or 27.
Most times after a shooting an officer is stood down pending enquiry.
It's a lot different over here.

I know apolice sargeant who had to chew out 2 new officers who had confiscated loaded revolvers from suspects and had tossheepishly turn them loaded to the property desk because they did not know howto unload a revolver. This made he and I feel old.

I noticed the revolver photo date, but the article shows a Glock and mentions them.

The current choice is the Glock 22.

If I was a cop which I am not. I would train on my own like I do now. Not wait for a yearly qualification. If the one thing you are depending on to keep you alive you better damm well be good with it.

The saying "Ignorance is bliss" does not apply to guns. In this case it can lead to injury or death. The P.C. crowd has done a good job in demonizing firearms which has led to fear and disdain for firearms by the younger generations as well as some of older generations. Firearms have become a great political tool for those who promote the progressive agenda. Young cops are not immune from the effects of such politicizing and demonizing of guns because they have also been indoctrinated by the education system and media. The officers who are in charge of training are controlled by the agenda of the bureaucrats in power. Sad state of affairs that could get rank and file officers in a deadly situation.

True, but his state was relevant because it was (also) in Australia!

They could just be like the UK and not have any guns. The cops could run around with Batons and scream "Tallywacker!". That seems to do the trick over there.
