I am very surprised at reading that it takes a cop 7, 20 shots to stop a threat. I mean, what are they using, .22 shorts?

I remember when I competed Police Combat Pistol, any cops showing up, usually scored in the bottom half. If I had to use a weapon to protect myself and others, I would definitely be extremely proficient with it. But, that's just me.
Not saying training is pointless... I just bet that you're more concerned what what's in front of you rather than what you went over last week/month. Just a theory.

I guess I wasn't clear on the OP. One bad guy was shot and hit 7 times in the back (forget it was point blank) and is still alive. The one in LA took 20 hits, but he is dead. If I got my info right, that's a lot of lead in a body. I'm interested in the caliber/bullets used.
