They missed after unloading an entire clip into an unmoving car that had a handcuffed suspect??
I mean that's great to hear, but this entire story is so confounding.
Cops (as a near universal rule) are not good shots. Most of them get tested once/twice a year, and the chief wants to check off the ‘qualified’ box for the students, and go home. So they get a watered down test, and Johnny Law here magdumps and thankfully misses everyone despite being at close range with a red dot sight - the closest there is to cheating for pistol shooting
This same perverse incentive structure exists for most LEO training if done internally by the department. So the public gets cops like this guy
FBI and Sky Marshall’s are the only two agencies that actually make sure all of their agents know how to shoot
Side note is that this guy was reported to be a veteran with PTSD (so he absolutely should not be in this position in the first place)
But this was his actual training kicking in - first response when taking contact is to suppress with volume of fire, which he did.
He did. They missed him.
