So the only crimes that are committed are in retaliation against police?
I'm not denying your right to protect yourself but you seem to be trying to limit mine. And yes, I have taken several training classes and can handle a weapon more proficiently than about 90% of police officers. I don't ever want to have to use those skills against another person but I sure hope I'm not put in a situation where I could have done something to protect myself or my family but was unable to due to some ridiculous law stemming from belief such as yours about cops and training and angry retaliating criminals.
There are many studies showing superior target identification and accuracy by civilians vs police. This arrival has a collection of several of those: http://www.ammoland.com/2013/06/civilians-are-safer-than-police/#axzz2rO2wvqz5
