Mr Rogers
The only proof I have is my cousin who graduated from the FBI academy reported this to me.
I suppose he could have been lying.
If the FBI has started teaching to shoot at the hip, then it would mean the weenies in the administration don’t want bad guys to be hurt very badly.
IF shooting him in the torso doesn’t work, THEN he may be wearing body armor. IF he is, THEN aiming for the pelvis makes sense. But aiming there is NOT a good way to stop a gunfight with someone who is not wearing body armor.
Good discussion here:
