If cops are going to be "professional toters", they should act it. They should care for the equipment their department issues them and be more proficient in using it than 40 rounds a year. That is less than what New Zealand requires for a target shooter to keep his possession license. I'm not saying they should be Olympic or ISSF athletes, but at least 100 rounds a week with reoccurring safety training.
Since we are talking about NYPD, they need more training when not to use it as well.
