It looks to me like this was a fuck-up due to incompetence and poor training. They wouldn't have sent the dog in if they planned to open fire. Someone was a bit too jumpy and got trigger-happy.

effective yeah, accurate no.

50 - 60 feet is approximately 20 yards.

a typical handgun is accurate to anyone trying to hit what their shooting to 50 yards, i can hit paper plates all day long at 100 with my glock 17, i sure as fuck would not risk getting shot and walk across a wide open space to get within range of my beanbag vs someone that purporetdly has the ability to kill me at twice the range.

real life is not call of duty, you dont respawn 15 seconds later.

no, instead i would sit behind the car for 12 minutes until he made a move then shoot him like everybody in the video did.
