the biggest problem is the fact that the officers were poor shots and trained to resist the urge to put one between the eyes. they had weapons deigned for close range. IMO every patrol car should have a shotgun and an AR15 with an officer capable of using them efficiently. 1 head shot each would have taken both perps down with an immediate end to the threat.
