Default Legality of gunfights in movies- eg. HEAT

I was thinking about Heat the other day and the cops opening fire in the street and was wondering- given we have a few members of the law enforcement community on this website- what are you guys thoughts on the procedural and legal issues with certain lauded movie gunfights?

Did the cops in Heat do the right thing? Would Hanna be facing disciplinaries, board hearings and media savagery for the next few years?!

And are there any examples of movies that accurately reflect what it's like for officers engaged in a shooting- both in procedure and comeuppance? (I'm a big fan of Narc and like the fact that it opens with a shooting hearing and a cop dealing with the ramifications of firing wildly in the street.)

Any gross inaccuracies in more 'realist' cop films (Gene Hackman tearing through New York in a commandeered car is awesome, but man, the paperwork!)

Thoughts?
