I'll say again, what about the misses that outnumber the hits by 2:1, what if they hit innocent bystanders? The rational you're using for HP's is exactly the opposite when dealing with projectiles that don't hit a suspect first.
And what # of those misses did hit bystanders? And how many weapon discharges happened inside or towards buildings or cars where the HPs would indeed save innocent lives?
I remember that one incident outside the Empire State Building a few yrs ago...that was outside and like 9 bystanders were hit :doh One does pray that's an aberration but I dont know. Cops do miss alot. IMO the Empire State incident was a training problem, not a shooting problem. But HPs help protect anyone with some sort of barrier between the cops and them.
