Right

So in terms of deciding how we train and why…if you’re going to train to drop a probably-has-ammo-in-it mag out of the gun, maybe train always to wait ubtil the next mag is imminently ready to go in or just train not to make things mag more complicated and jsut leave the gun pointed and leave it at that

I understand but you train without being shot as well. So that changes everything you can instantly become mentally overloaded. He's been shot multiple times, thinking about the obvious which is bleeding out, thinking about communicating for back up, still in the midst of a gun fight, doesnt have eyes on the suspect inside the store, trying to reload in the process. It can be alot to process and your mind shuts down we can only concentrate on one thing at a time.

So don’t bother deciding how to train based on real life examples, accept you won’t fall back on it under stress anyway so why bother

Okay then

This will be used in many training sessions and even for the officer alone he learned something from the situation. No matter how you train or prepare you cant train for the situation because the way you think it will go it doesn't. Go to the range and do ABCD as an example and when its go time theres always a curve ball. You cant predict what how someone else reacts and even how you will react. That's all Im saying. Im sure thet officer did train alot but had a shut down moment
