The Rookie: The Switch (2018)
"Switch" - Parking Lot gun battle, Worst on TV!
Yup... bullets flying everywhere... punching holes in cars, hitting one non-combatant, and a senior cop shooting his weapon numerous times without aiming ... And the 'perp' with the automatic weapon fires at least 50 rounds without reloading and doesn't hit anything except cars in the busy parking lot... The scene's climax is when the lead 'rookie' character crawls under a truck to trip the bad guy who had ample opportunity to shoot 'our hero' while falling backward against another vehicle.. but instead simply dropped his weapon so as to comply with the poorly written script.
No thought given to the technical details such as keeping fingers off the trigger while handling a firearm... or safety considerations of what lies beyond the intended target that the cops were shooting at. They acted like the bullets simply disappear once it misses the bad guy.
That whole scene was just poorly staged and made cops appear to be bumbling idiots that need to be sent back to basic NRA Gun Safety 101 training.
