A few years ago, some thug in Oakland drew a weapon on a Oakland Police Officer, and the Officer then promptly double-tapped him center mass, killing him.
Some idiot liberal at work lamented “Why didn’t he just shoot him in the leg?”
I asked him “Have you ever fired a handgun?”
“No”
I asked him if he thinks it’s easy to just point at a persons leg and drop him with a single shot, to which he replied “Well, they go to the range all the time. They should be able to.”
I told him that it’s nearly impossible to do so, especially under stressful situations, and that every PD in the US has prohibited such “defensive tactics” because it’s more likely to get the Officer killed if he misses.
I also reminded him of the Femoral artery that runs thru the leg and bleeding out from a leg shot is a high possibility.
He still insisted that police should be trained to wound and not kill.
I told him it will end up in more cops getting killed, to which he replied “Well, that’s a part of their job, isn’t it?”
Lib logic at its finest.
Your lib co-worker, and everyone like him, should volunteer to be human shields for crazed killers. Run an ad in Craig’s List or something. They could do it for cops too. Heck! everybody should have an idiot lib for a human shield when you get down to it.
