Joe Biden on Monday suggested that police forces could train officers to shoot attackers in the legs in order to reduce potential fatalities.

There is “the idea that instead of standing there and teaching a cop when there’s an unarmed person, coming at him with a knife or something, to shoot him in the leg instead of in the heart,” Biden said. “There’s a lot of different things [policies] that can change.”

“I would really love to know where Hillary Clinton is tonight”.

She probably passed out two hours ago.

[eyedigress]

I forgot something.

This is a Presidential buffoon candidate telling people how to shoot somebody.

"Joe never heard of the femoral artery...">

That's because he probably thinks it's called the female artery. Just another thing to molest.

how long before someone makes a meme of kinder, gentler gunslinger cop Biden shooting a knife out of the hand of an unarmed attacker?

My dad, who was shot in the left knee in WW2 and Korea, always said that after enduring all the pain and eventually losing his left leg because of those wounds, that is where he shhot some one if it came too that.

[eyedigress]

Good Grief.

[shotgun]

Yeah, because its painless except for cramps and goes away after 5 days...

[Trillian]

What are they allowed to do to men who sniff women and children and touch them inappropriately?

[Impala64ssa]

Shoot them in the legs with what, an AR14???

[PghBaldy]

“when there’s an unarmed person, coming at him with a knife” -—

LOL.

[timestax]

Maybe make them dance while shooting at feet like in the old cowboy movies Come on MAAAN ! That's right Jack. Whatchu gonna do about it.

[Impala64ssa]

Maybe aim for their big toe or an ear. Just wing him!☺
Or better yet shoot any weapon they're brandishing out of their hand, like the Lone Ranger then have Tonto tie 'em up throw them on the horse and ride over to the Sheriff's office. Sounds like a plan😀

[political1]

I think rock salt could be used to clear crowds out.

[LegendHasIt]

Well, if you can train them to do that, why not train them to just shoot the gun out of their hands like The Lone Ranger and Roy Rogers did.

/s, in case that isn’t clear.

With his dementia, I'm surprised he didn't say officers should be trained to shoot attackers in center of Ass, because thats what he was told to do. Of course you have to run around behind the perp first.

I thought Obama was bad as a president, but Lord help us if Biden is elected.

[LegendHasIt]

You beat me to it!

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

If “Buffalo Bill Biden” has a weapon in his hands, the only word you want to hear is “DUCK” and I don’t mean the bird.

As Joe would ask, “Why does this shotgun handle have two holes next to each other?”

[rfp1234]

Yep, it works against banana-wielding attackers. And pointed sticks too.

[william clark]

Isn’t that included in the same course where they teach you to shoot the gun out of the perp’s hand?
