I have spent many thousands of rounds out of 357 magnums, 45 autos, 9mm autos and 38 super autos. From personal experience I found revolvers harder to be accurate with because of the double action trigger. I cant imagine a police officer cocking a revolver before firing giving him a single action trigger pull on the first shot.
Unless the officers are shooting regularly (which I doubt very much) it is very easy to be innacurate at 15m with a handgun without factoring in the stress of actually shooting at another person. To incinuate that an officer could choose to shoot someone in the leg or arm is ludicrous and they are trained to shoot at the largest mass because they have more chance of hitting it and nuetralizing the threat. I believe the common training is to do a "double tap" when firing meaning they would let 2 rounds go at a time.
It is sad that it came to it but what would you be saying tonight if the kid had of gone through the shopping centre stabbing members of the public. Would you be asking where the cops were?

There is no strong performance without a little fanaticism in the performer
