Biden says police should be trained to ‘shoot 'em in the leg instead of the heart’
Fox News ^ | June 1, 2020 | Morgan Phillips

Joe Biden said Monday that police -- if facing a threat from a person with "a knife or something" -- should be trained to “shoot ‘em in the leg instead of the heart,” amid five straight days of protest following the death of George Floyd.

“Instead of standing there and teaching a cop when there’s an unarmed person coming at ‘em with a knife or something, shoot ‘em in the leg instead of in the heart,” Biden said in an address to black community leaders in Wilmington, Del. (Emphasis added.)

“Wouldn’t it be better to just shoot the weapon out of the perp’s hand? I see them do that all the time in the movies.“
*********************************************
Taking great care to hit only the weapon and not the hand gripping it. You go, Joe. ;-)

A bigger and safer target would be to shoot them in the ass.

Let’s go to the range and have some target practice.

Everyone aim for the “3” ring.

Well, Gropin’, you should’ve included that in The Crime Bill you USED to crow about writing back in the 80s.

And this is the best that the Democrats can come up with to run against Trump? I can’t wait for the first televised debate.

On another note, this is the guy that the AFL-CIO is endorsing? You got to imagine what the rank in file are thinking.

The guy from “Rustler’s Rhapsody” could do that. He actually practiced that in the movie. (It was a gun instead of a knife, but the same general idea.

I’d like to know if Biden asked HIS secret service agent to only shoot someone in the leg. I’ll bet he said if anyone threatens him, blow the guy’s head off.

“Biden says police should be trained to ‘shoot ‘em in the leg instead of the heart’”

biden is a fool; that’ll never work .... Biden should be advocating that police shoot the knives out of the hands of unarmed people like they do in all of the movies and TV shows ...

It’s time once again for me to thank the good voters of Delaware. Who in returning this buffoon time & time again to office enabled this & fool & his corrupt family to loot the treasury for 40+ years. Way to go Delaware!

Term limits !

And no more direct election of senators!
The Founding Fathers were right in not allowing it!

Joe really meant to say head, but since he can’t tell his a$$hole from his elbow he does get easily confused. Corn pop cornfused.

“SO STUPID! It’s OBVIOUS he’s never had ANY training in self-defense or police work.”

Also clear he never had any military training. First thing the Army teaches is always aim for center mass of the enemy.

I am compelled to reply. As a Christian I have seen past documented videos where police officers unloaded on a criminal that was absolutely no threat, out of range, shot only because they had a knife in their hand. Police training and use of deadly force does need to be rethought. I witnessed an incident where a woman was stopped at a gate ( I will not disclose the company or location), who stated she was going to kill her husband at work. She had a handgun on the dash, sitting behind the wheel, was distraught, crying, shaking....when police arrived they surrounded the vehicle, she rolled up her Windows, they kept shouting to get out of the car, she did not ( probably could not hear), she then reached for the handgun and once her hand touched the gun, ( not even picked up), they fired off a dozen-18 shots killing her. NOT JUSTIFIED. She was absolutely no threat sitting in a car with the windows rolled up! Could have been handled much differently. Comments: we need more Christians in the police forces. God truly will guide believers that are put into harms way while performing the dangerous job of law enforcement. I will also add I have known many LEO’s , a few dirty, very dirty. It was easy to pick out the God fearing and righteous ones.Enough said.
