1st question) Both.
2nd) Yea, if you're trained, you can hit your target pretty easily I imagine. FBI people have a great reputation for accuracy, but I imgaine it takes lots of training. Edit: Didn't see the hit ratio was for police. I don't know this for a fact, but I think the FBI has a way higher hit ratio. Field agents in the FBI have to be much more accurate than the average cop.
I have a handgun, but I can hardly hit a target that's ten feet away.
That's what surprised me when I got my gun, how hard it is to actually hit what you are trying to hit.
Another thing that surprised me, but shouldn't have, was the loudness of it.
Handguns are great defensive weapons in that sense. Even if you miss, it would take tremendous courage for an attacker to keep coming at you even after you start shooting.
To move TOWARD the sound of gunfire, takes a lot more courage than people realize.
Props to any people in the armed forces who have moved toward the sound of gunfire, or any people in the police.
The police and armed forces in the US don't get the credit they deserve...
Especially if they live in big cities.
First time I tried shooting I rented a Glock 17 and an AR15. Could hit a silver dollar 8/10 times at 75 feet with the long gun. I couldn't hit the target's head at 7 feet with the handgun.

EDIT: Aaaaaaand I just realised Suits said he couldn't hit the target at 7 feet with the handgun. FAIL by intrepid imageshitposter.  We will leave the Pale Rider image in place anyway.

You might be able to shoot better if you put on a do rag and hold your pistol sideways and do a punching motion while you pull the trigger.

I saw some news reports only showing the cop getting out the his car and shooting, or only showing still images of the shooter but then video of the cop shooting, which is very manipulative when you look deeper.

The media uses the term "radicalized" to displace blame for Islam and muslims. It's the new version of calling someone a victim to absolve sins.
He's a violent thug? Well, he was victimized by white privilege.
He's a murdering maniac? Well, he was radicalized - usually the result of something white people did...possibly Jews.
And how crazy is Islam if it's so easy to radicalize people?
Question they never answer, how are people from a particular faith so easily radicalized? I mean, the more radical thing we have in USA is the Westboro Baptist Church, and all they do hold signs on the street, I would have a hard time trying to get great number of Christians in the USA to go shooting people based on faith, but people who fallow Islam only need a few words or a 1 week trip to Middle East and then BOOM!, allahu akbar!.
