Universally? Now and always?
Yes. Go ask a cop.
That wouldn't tell me much. Better a survey of all the police jurisdictions in the country.
Have at it then.
I know for a fact this is more likely than not. Few civilian cops are anywhere near as trained and adept at using their firearms in real world situations as what most would like to think.
Pretty much true.

Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson said Friday the initial contact between 18-year-old Michael Brown and police officer Darren Wilson was not related to a convenience store robbery.
Brown, an unarmed black teenager, was shot and killed by Wilson on Saturday, August 9.
In a press conference earlier on Friday, Ferguson police released a report naming Brown as the main suspect in a convenience store robbery where a box of Swisher Sweets cigars valued at $48.99 was stolen and a clerk was allegedly shoved.
Video of the incident allegedly showing Brown, which was released to the public, "had nothing to do with the stop" and was "unrelated" to Wilson's contact with Brown, Jackson said. He said video of the convenience store incident was released in response to Freedom of Information Act requests.
"The initial contact between Darren Wilson and Mike Brown was not related to the alleged theft of cigars," Jackson said, indicating Wilson did not know Brown was a suspect in the robbery.
Jackson said Wilson was in the area "coming off a sick case," and initiated contact with Brown because the teenager was "blocking traffic, that's it."

Rumor has it his white shirt was more red than white, after the shooting anyway.
