The training is this way because if the gun comes out, it is being used. And guns don't give hugs and kisses...
A gun is a tool, used to remove a threat. The best way to accomplish that is to use it until there is no more threat.
There is no other possible training for this - so yes it's a lot like your gravity analogy, although much colder and unforgiving.
This is not the movies. I can't say that enough. The movies have really warped people's perception of reality when it comes to firearms.
Before you respond - consider this: Why are we focused on the round count and the possible implied lack of training that led to 107 rounds being fired instead of focusing on the clear lack of training that led to the situation in the first place? The round count couldn't literally matter any less...
But the only gun that came out was from the cops! The only threat was from the cops! Why are you lying about this? You seem to understand that there was no other threat but you keep acting like there was!
Maybe the other cops should have shot the first cop 92 times, that would be OK I guess.
EDIT:
> The round count couldn't literally matter any less...
Are you actually just stupid? Would you like to get shot at 1 time or 107 times?
We know that now, don't we. Which means your focus should be on how this threat was perceived so incorrectly - not how the threat was ended.
A threat is a term used to describe anything that you perceive (correctly or incorrectly) as an immediate danger to yourself or those around you.
> Are you actually just stupid? Would you like to get shot at 1 time or 107 times?
Clearly you are not interested in learning here... but I'll try again.
The fact that these officers (likely a single officer actually) incorrectly identified this vehicle as a threat is where your energies should be placed. The round count is irrelevant, unless you assume the events of that day could not be avoided?
Given the events happened, 107 rounds is not surprising. Do not use round count like it's some sort of indicator of anything other than the wielder's own uninformed opinions. Just don't do it... focus on what matters instead.
