I think it is political correctness on the lack of practice shooting. There are so many politicians (many times are in charge of the police force) that don't like guns, they would prefer the cops to not even carry them. They would prefer them carry clubs like they do in England or even nothing like Andy Taylor. Having them shoot a lot implies they think carrying is a good idea. Also, shooting a lot cost money and budgets for LE is usually tight.
