Unanswered was why the police did not shoot him in the legs rather than kill.

Ignorance is dispelled by knowledge.

The answers ta the link provide a measure of knowledge, but are knowledge that is limited to mere either/or thinking, reduces a situation to merely an emotional level, and is not good in the heat of the moment when cooler heads need to prevail, especially if the man has a mental disorder.

The link: all force is lethal. n

No it is not. Some force is more “lethal” than other uses of force, and the use of the word “lethal” there is a logically fallacious sweeping generalization when it comes to the use of the word “lethal.” Aiming for the legs is not “lethal use of force” when compared to center mass.

“Very unlikely to hit arms or legs.”

Officer Darren Wilson had no problem doing this. At least four shots to the arm.

These guys this close could (with 12 shots fired) easily have hit him in the legs multiple times, taking him down with legs totally incapacitated.

The rest of the link does not provide knowledge at all, either. Just more logical fallacies... Yawn...
