President Biden on Monday called for police officers to be retrained so they’re taught not to use deadly force in every situation that requires them to fire their weapon.
The 80-year-old president’s comments came during the National Action Network’s Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Breakfast in Washington, DC, as Biden blasted Senate Republicans for blocking a police reform bill in 2021 that would’ve restricted the use of deadly force by law enforcement officers.
“We have to retrain cops,” Biden said. “Why should you always shoot with deadly force? The fact is if you need to use your weapon, you don’t have to do that.”

Biden made a similar suggestion about the use of deadly force by police on the presidential campaign trail in 2020, at the height of the George Floyd riots, arguing that police officers should be trained to shoot threatening individuals “in the leg instead of the heart.”
“Instead of standing there and teaching a cop when there’s an unarmed person coming at them with a knife or something, shoot them in the leg instead of in the heart,” Biden told African American community leaders in June of 2020 at Bethel AME Church in Wilmington, Delaware.

What a dumbass.
What do you expect from this mental midget?
Ordinary citizens faced with rioters and looters should always use deadly force.
Let’s start with retraining the Secret Service.

It’s a good thing for BiXiden that the SS are not trained in the art of stopping dumbassery.
People can easily bleed out from leg shots.
Then it will be, why did they shoot him in the leg? He was an aspiring football or basketball player, they robhed him of his future career. We sue.
So, Ashli Babbitt died unnecessarily? And, she wasn’t even armed. Biden!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is the kind of jackoff produced by Democrat controlled states.
Was Brian Kohberger unarmed then?
Biden is center of mass challenged.
...among everthing else.
I see less cops in the future.
I dunno? Why shit your drawers, FJB?
This would also be bad training as cops may decide to use their guns on lesser situations, because they just decide to aim at hands or arms or legs or feet. And it become acceptable practice to shoot people in so-called safer areas for unnecessary situations that require use of a gun.
They need to be trained to shoot at the arms or maybe the toes.
The officer succumbed to the return shot of the thug he shot in the leg.
Why does Joe always shoot with deadly farce?
Don’t point a gun at someone unless you are preparing to shoot him. Don’t shoot someone unless you are trying to kill him. Always fire at the center of mass and keep firing until they drop.
Simple rules that even an idiot can understand.
I see less policing in the future.
They really need to put a lid on Biden 24/7
“They need to be trained to shoot at the arms or maybe the toes.”
Nah! Just shoot the gun out of the bad guy’s hand, like the Lone Ranger!
