I had a buddy who went into the army in HS and it was around the time some doofuses suggested arming teachers with guns.
He already thought the idea was braindead stupid so we decided to look up cops as a comparison to civilians in terms of accuracy.
We couldn’t find civilian data but the cops in our state had a whopping 21% accuracy of actually hitting their target (in real situations) with some areas as low as 11%.
He doubled down on disqualifying police as a real occupation after that lol.
Police tend to be the most dangerous and least accurate group of gun owners. Even with the tiny amount of range time police get, you’d be hard pressed to find a worse group to hand guns to.
