Go through any of the New York City cop shootings where they shoot a crazy amount of shots and miss almost all of them. Unless its SWAT for a major urban area, the average American match shooter is way way more capable than a "trained professional" cop that only shoots quals twice a year.
And the vast majority of gun owners don't even have that 'minimal' level of training nor experience that a street cop has.
