You really believe police academies indoctrinate simply for the purpose of indoctrinating, and that police want and consciously will themselves to become psychopaths? What do you believe is the purpose of the indoctrination for the sake of indoctrination? Why would someone want to turn themselves into a psychopath?

The argument is that every millisecond that they don't shoot matters, so training themselves to shoot instinctively and to ensure the person is dead when they do shoot is the solution. Part of the problem is that the techniques they use to train this involve dehumanisation of targets - it's really hard to get someone to kill an actual person, so they train that response on things that don't look like people, with the hope that it transfers over.
