ALBANY -- An assemblywoman under fire for sponsoring a bill that asks cops to shoot gun-wielding suspects in the arms and legs brushed off the outrage yesterday -- although she admitted she is no expert on police work.
Asked about her critics' contention that the proposed legislation will put police lives at risk, Annette Robinson (D-Brooklyn) told The Post: "I understand that."
She insisted that cops use too much force, but acknowledged she is unqualified to assess the issue.

It’s like wanting something for nothing.
Police need to have the ability and the provisional sanction to kill, just as soldiers do.
You can’t enforce the law without a certain exercise of power.
CASE DISMISSED
Well, after seeing her picture, that pretty much answers any question I had. Apparently, too many of her voters were getting capped ....
Scratch that school off our “must visit” list.
Unqualified to assess the situation but she does it anyway, hmmmmmm, obama disease seems to be contageous.
I suspect this is an example of “legislator watches TV drama, introduces bill next day.” This is what you get after generations of denigrating guns and gun owners results in people knowing nothing about them. NY will get what it deserves.
Hey Lady:
Since you know nothing about law enforcement work....
Maybe you would like to come & help me train a green colt.
Sounds like you think you would be highly qualified for that, also!!!!
Liberalism IS a disease.
“They should shoot the gun out of the bad guys hand like they do in some westerns”
LOL! I always think of that when I have a bad day at the range.
And of course, they allways one hand it too, at about 75 feet or so. :)
I admit I have no idea what I am talking about but Ill insist you do it my way anyway”””
NObama in a skirt.....
Excellent!
They also shoot from the hip and many do it while fanning the hammer!
As a retired police officer of many, many years, this is EXACTLY what we would do when shot at, target, head to toe.
This is amazing, beyound belief.
