another example of whats made them untrusted and a bit unrespecrted ''do as i say not as i do''

But they have to undergo two weeks of training, which does include a written test (which is far more involved than the MSC test) and re-cert yearly. Police have 'golden rules' but only four of them.

Another example of people making assumptions.

I would imagine that Police testing of elementary training skills is as comprehensive and structured as I experienced with weapons handling in the army forty five years ago. The perception that just because a police person or soldier does not have a firearms licence then they cannot be competent is interesting but hardly relevant given that the individual policeman/woman or soldier did not make the rule that they are subject to.

Yep

The probable truth is that the general public wouldn't think the officer was doing anything with her firearm that warrants any kind of criticism, as purported by some in this thread. That's if they even cared to start with.
