police are just like anyone else. There are some awesome ones, there are some shitty ones... and the very very average ones outnumber all of them.
When these 2 jumped out firing like crazy, they all hit the deck and tried to eke out shots while staying protected. What you have is a bunch of people 3 years out of community college in their first gun battle in pitch black, and an enemy willing to expose himself. Cops have nightmares about that shit. I think they performed well - not fcking amazing -but did a satisfactory job. They didn't shoot any people during the door to doors, as LAPD would have lol
