[W]hen they do fire, even at an armed suspect, there is often no one returning fire at the officers. Officers hit their targets roughly 34 percent of the time.
When they fire at dogs, roughly 55 percent of shots hit home...
Officers’ guns go off unintentionally or by accident for a variety of reasons: wrestling with suspects, cleaning the weapons, leaning on holsters — even once, in 1996, when a gun was put in an oven for safekeeping.
I wonder what'll happen with the averages now that "Operation Torch" will be joining the "Hercules Teams" on full auto?
This does give me an idea, though: "Only Ones" cards--like baseball cards--there's a piece of unpalatable gum in the pack along with collecting/trading cards--a picture of "Only One"/affiliation on the front, a short bio and stats on the back...
Collect 'em all!
