No offense, but I have to imagine Tennessee is the same as most other states where police officers get around 40 hours of firearms training, which isn't all spent on shooting(cleaning/use of force/etc). Studies about LEO vs. recreational vs. novice shooters are extraordinarily eye opening:

I talked with the firearms instructor for our local PD about range time officers do after Cadet Class training; he rarely sees them again. While they are required to qualify annually and are allowed 50 rounds of free ammo a month to practice he said "very few" when I asked him how many actually show up at the range to practice. Our PD has a very nice training facility and range that includes a situation room complex with bullet absorbing walls that the SWAT team uses, but he said that's different than the rank and file who show up to practice monthly on the range.

That video starts with a bald faced lie about firearm homicide rates in the US being the highest in developed countries. Apparently Honduras, Venezuela, El Salvador, Guatemala, Jamaica, Brazil, Columbia and Panama are undeveloped countries. The firearm suicide rate per 100M in the US is almost twice as high as the homicides. The firearms deaths are almost exclusively homicides in all those "undeveloped" countries. I stopped watching at that point.
