But is there an American police issue weapon with 8 shots ๐Ÿค”

Many police can and do carry their own firearms. I could see a rural or just general chud cop carrying a 1911, which is 7+1.

Aren't most handguns equipped with 13-18 rounds?

You aren't required to fire until empty.

No, but do the cops have the necessary restraint to not pull the trigger until it clicks?

I guess it does remove the requirement of being able to count

...but, but, they were scared! They were forced, no, coerced into firing until empty, because of the cruel crime of the missing license...
