They may be excellent shooters against something that do not trying to shoot back. But the ability to shoot more or less straight & not run away during actual firefight required more than just shooting skills. And if you want to actually hit JUST the bad guy - and not "he hit about twenty panicked bystander trying to disable the shooter" - it required even more skills.
Why would you presume that police officers have that skill when armed citizens do not?
