    I do not agree poor marksmanship is excusable.

    There is a widely accepted practice of limited and sporadic live-fire and situational training for law enforcement.

    To volunteer for a profession where it is known there is a high probability of returning fire in close proximity to civilians brings with it the obligation (both of the department and of the officers) to train and prepare for it.
