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.

Brandon is a one of the dumbest, if not the dumbest, President in this country’s history.
However, members of his base are even dumber.
Is there anything this guy can’t be wrong about? The current list is already quite comprehensive.

Glad he’s a RAT...
They’re gonna have to do something with this moron though.....it’s a clown show.
Breathtaking imbecilic blather.
Lock this guy in Memory Care and take away the key to Corvette.
The popo could do involuntary gender reassignment for The Meritless Garland.
She has a significant “body count”.
What a dumbass.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I WHOLLY AGREE WITH THE SENTIMENT, BUT THE TERM “DUMBASS” IS COMPLETELY INADEQUATE. WHAT IS? NOTHING I’VE EVER HEARD!
IF ONE IS NOT MORALLY AND LEGALLY CERTAIN (AND I’M NOT SURE THAT THE LATTER REALLY APPLIES TO ALL CIRCUMSTANCES) THAT SHOOTING TO KILL IS PERFECTLY JUSTIFIED, THEN THERE IS NO JUSTIFICATION TO SHOOT AT ALL!!! WHAT’S HARD TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT THAT???
OUR PO(S)TUS )*( IS INDESCRIBABLY BRAIN DEAD!
(I’M NOT SHOUTING...EYES PROBLEM)
Joe Stupid thinks a 9mm is a scalpel and cops are surgeons .
Because you can die with deadly force?
I was aiming at his right arm but he ducked to the right and the bullet hit him in the chest near the heart. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The bullet missed the arm and went through the heart......
“Why should you always shoot with deadly force?”
Gee, maybe some one is trying to kill you ?
Multiple examples of imbecility in one paragraph.
What a dumbass indeed. If deadly force is required, you shoot for center of mass.
Shooting the gun out of the bad guy’s hand or shooting them to wound doesn’t happen in real life under stress.
What an absolute moron.
No one has ever been killed with a knife. /sarc
Total dumbass....demented fool
Ok, Roy Rogers.
