I heard a radio show caller say that when police discharge their firearms while on duty, the rate at which they hit their target is less than 1 in 3.
I researched and found data on NYC that puts it at 34%.

I found that to be interesting and relevant to a discussion of arming teachers in schools.
I always wondered how many of those Al-queda types die when they shoot hundreds of rounds in the air during a celebration.
Yeah. Whenever I see a bunch of yahoos shooting their guns in the air in the Middle East, I always wonder where those rounds are landing.
Israel?

The Study is Bogus as it does not consider that Cops, Often fire a warning shot. It simply counted the number of Shots fired, to number of perps hit, and did not consider at all warning shots.
They do the same shit when they say if you own a gun you are more likely to be killed by it, than you are to use it in self defense. In that case, they include suicide by guns in their stats, and they only count it as used in self defense if the gun is actually discharged, if you just brandish it and don't have to shoot, they didn't count that.
The Left has real issues with the actual facts on this issue.
cops never fire a warning shot

No, actually...

It is an infraction in the NYPD to fire a warning shot. If ones gun is to be unloaded, the officer must feel a threat to him/herslef or the public.
And if the threat exists, the threat can only be eliminated with a deadly shot.
SO no warning shots and no shots to injure.
Shoot to kill or dont shoot at all.
The police do NOT fire warning shots.
What goes up...must come down. And it comes down at the same speed it went up.

Here's the thing. We could put crack shots in every classroom and it won't make a difference. The next shooter (and there will be a next shooter) will just shoot up a daycare center. Or a mall. Or a school bus. Or a nunnery. Or a lady's garden party. Or a Starbucks. Or a Congressman's town hall meeting.

FYI, though, this isn't true. It might be true in an airless environment, but falling projectiles reach a maximum speed rather quickly that is limited by air friction.
In other words, bullets leave the barrel in an upward trajectory MUCH FASTER than they return to the ground.

As does a golf ball. If you are hit by the ball off the club, you can be seriously injured, if not killed. If hit by it on the way down, you will feel it, but survive.
But a bullet is designed to penetrate....and if that thing hits you in the head on the way down, it will penetrate and likely kill you.

I don't think so. Bullets on the way down tend to tumble; as they first leave a barrel, they are rifled and much less prone to wind resistance, but a tumbling bullet is relatively slow (and makes a really weird noise, by the way).
here's a stat: No white person has run the hundred meter under 10 flat
here's a stat: No white person has run the hundred meter under 10 flat
here's a stat: No white person has run the hundred meter under 10 flat
that makes white people athletically disadvantaged....
And using the "womens exam vs mens exam for fiew departments" premise.....
White men should be given a head start in the olympics.

People get killed by bullets shot up into the sky all the time.

Every shot, from gunfight to accident to suicide, both on and off-duty, is accounted for.
That is good shooting, Frank. But it's a well established fact that the ability to kill a paper target under tranquil conditions has absolutely no bearing on one's ability to deliver accurate shots under stressful circumstances.The NYC Police need to go to Front Sight.
This is my 50 shots at 50 feet
