It's so cool when people learn about this for the first time

Next look up the nypd submarine fleet. Or the time they tried to boost officer shooting accuracy during incidents by including officer suicides as one shot perpetrator kills and still couldn't break 30%

I can't find the original quote but I first remember it being cited in the behind the bastards police series. I did find this from the nyt in 2007:

less than 50% accuracy at 0-6 feet, i'm pretty sure you could take any 10 random people off the street and match that

i've got some stunning news about nypd recruitment

i get it but presumably they are supposed to put guns in those peoples' hands and have them shoot it a couple times so that they can do better than 50% AT 6 loving FEET AWAY

The problem with police training is that the part of their training that deals with threat escalation is based around a grizzled veteran cop screaming at you that you're about to die and if you don't shoot now and fast and immediately without thinking about it the perp is going to kill you, pull your driver's license out of your wallet, go to your house and kill your family too.

You can spend eight hours a day on the range and it won't matter if you've been programmed to poo poo your pants in fear and terror respond with violence

once elon musk can use neuralink to kill the fear in their brain this will no longer be an issue

source your quote aka reposting the text of a bad post from somewhere else but without the quote blocks so it looks like you are posting it in earnest. but people use it now to just mean "quote from another subforum"

It's reporting what US intelligence officials believe. It's possibly right on that. It has nothing to do with Iran's actual actions and everything to do with how the anti-Iran faction is maneuvering within the US state.
