Looks like wokist Biden fantasies are being taken seriously by real police departments. The comments express the obvious well and are worth the read.
idiotic
The Law Enforcement Officers should likewise be required to fire only a SINGLE shot, and then wait to see if that shot has the desired effect - before then firing a SECOND shot, and waiting, etc.
Otherwise, we are going to see LEOs unloading their revolvers into the perp's legs. QUESTION: Are six shots to the legs MORE or LESS deadly than a single shot to the center of mass?
Regards,
They really out to initiate a “Shoot the gun out of his hand” program. That’s how it used to be done — saw it all the time on TV when I was a youngster.
Bet federal law enforcement agencies won’t be following suit.
Go figure.
Anyone that seriously thinks that shooting someone in the leg (with a single shot, let alone multiple ones) is less deadly than shooting someone center mass has zero comprehension of human physiology.
Just shoot the guns out of their hands. Really!
I saw Roy Rogers on TV do it all the time.
Lone Ranger too.
So, no critical mass. Do they now aim for the left buttock if the perp is Black?
Roy Rogers could draw both of his sixguns at the same time and shoot both of the bad guy’s six guns out of his hands at the same time.
I hope the PDs get sued out of existence if they take this route. Anyone pushing this crap has had any experience with a fire fight. You are not shooting at a paper target. Your life or someone else’s is on the line and on top of ensuring you are making the correct call to shoot you are now supposed to decide what part of the body to shoot at? As soon as some copper cancels some perp’s ticket will come the suits for not disabling him.
The fact that someone actually wrote this article, let alone that there is someone in LEO that thinks this is a good idea, shows exactly how finished this country is. America can withstand existentialist threats way beyond what people think it can. It cannot withstand the idiocy that has permeated society at every level that brings this sort of thing to the front.
And lawyers salivate.
In a wildly dynamic situation NO ONE has such control over shot placement that they can entertain such silly shite.
I am sure that part of this training involves watching a lot of old Roy Roger and Gene Autry cowboy movies.
An adrenalin hyped up or drug up bad guy can still do stuff with shots to the abdomen or legs.
Ashli Babbitt’s killer didn’t shoot to wound.
How about the police just hide behind their payroll vehicles when something looks dangerous to the public? That’s what they did at the Parkland school shooting, and no suspects were endangered.
Buckle up, buckaroos!
This will not end well.
Whoever came up with the ‘Shoot to Incapacitate’ program and whatever government official or police chief who agrees to have their police department adopt such a program should be summarily fired for being an eminent threat to the police and the lawabiding community.
Because bullets go to the target area and no further./s
