Biden Proposes Training Cops to Shoot Attackers in the Leg to Reduce Fatalities (Not satire)

Joe Biden on Monday suggested that police forces could train officers to shoot attackers in the legs in order to reduce potential fatalities.

There is “the idea that instead of standing there and teaching a cop when there’s an unarmed person, coming at him with a knife or something, to shoot him in the leg instead of in the heart,” Biden said. “There’s a lot of different things [policies] that can change.”

An absolute moron. THIS is not Hollyweird where Bat Masterson shoots from 50 feet and knocks the gun out of a guy’s hand and the hand barely has a dent in it. You shoot a guy with a 45 colt, from most any distance, and it will danged near blow the hand off!!! You, in a moment of high intensity, with someone fighting you, cannot shoot and hit someone in the arm or leg. Those are small targets, especially the further away someone is. Biden needs to get back on his meds. He is an absolute idiot!!! Several officers have been shot the past few days and the one in Vegas is on life support. Go to hell Biden. Go back to your bunker and watch your homosexual cartoons. Fool.

You got to have a brain for it to be fried. I doubt seriously that ole Joe has a brain. But if he does, yup, its fried.

If Trump had said this the media jackals would have been mocking him incessantly, but with Biden crickets.

when there’s an unarmed person, coming at him with a knife or something

Joe, you babbling ignoramus, by definition, if someone is armed with a KNIFE, he is NOT UNARMED!!!

And that ladies and gents, is the difference between Biden and Trump-—Biden wants to shoot them, Trump doesn’t. That surmise of mine is truer than it might at first appear.

You’ve given me a GREAT idea for Biden’s running mate! Is C-pop still alive? Can he get a sex change operation so that Joe could have a ‘female’ , and black running mate?

Oh please, Joe. Just need to shoot the weapon out of their hand, they’ll be shocked and give up. Just like the movies.

Dumbest Biden statement ever. Just proved beyond ANY doubt he knows absolutely nothing nothing about firearms and the challenges associated with shooting.

He’s watched too many movies and can’t tell Hollywood fantasy vs real life.

Here it is from Joe himself (standing in front of the altar): "Biden today on police training: "Instead of standing there and teaching a cop when there's an unarmed person comin' at 'em with a knife or something to shoot 'em in the leg instead of the heart is a very different thing."

I hate to disagree with you, but I have my doubts he ever had enough of a brain to fry.

No reasonable adult would consider someone with a knife “unarmed.” Biden may be chronologically adult but he doesn’t have a nodding acquaintance with reason or reasonable.

If you’re coming at a police officer with a knife, or with a baseball bat, or with a frying pan for that matter, you’re armed, and you can expect to get shot, and probably not in the hand or leg.
