Actually, it is an issue--it shows a lack of training and
fire discipline by the police officers.

There damn well is a reason to "hold back", you have to, or
at the very least you *should* know where *every* *single* *bullet*
is going. From memory, they had about a 50% hit ratio, which is
pretty high for cops these days.
Of course, that means that they really had *no stinking clue*
where 20 of those bullets went, beyond "that a way".
The fact that cops can let loose 20 bullets, having *no* idea
where those bullets went, and can still keep their jobs is a
*serious* problem.
