This ^ list of nonsense is not taught at any police station in the nation. Where the fuck did you come up with that? Ive seen many videos of cops shooting people who are on the ground, after already being shot.That is absolutely NOT true. Not only are cops trained to kill when they fire their weapon, civilians should only shoot to kill as well. Dont worry about how many bullets you put in your attacker, just as long as he dies. You never try to "wing" someone, like in the movies. Guns are not designed to be non lethal.Anyone who "shoots to kill" is improperly trained.Just pull out the gun and shoot to killmaybe,, but we do have cases where two full grown men cant take down a single person,,Uhm we have female cops now they can't use it on a string out person on drugssounds reasonable,, it gives them an edgeSo the defund the police wants cops to go hand to hand combat now?
and a women would benefit greatly from the training,, it teaches a smaller person how to overpower a larger one,,
I see it as a good thing and another tool in the toolbox of law enforcement,,
You never "shoot to kill". You shoot in order to stop the behavior which caused you to draw your weapon...
You're wrong.
Police are trained to shoot to terminate the threat. In this case, "terminate" does not mean "kill" it means to put an end to the threat. If a suspect is shot and, upon falling to the ground he drops his weapon, the threat is over. The threat has been terminated. There's no reason for the cop to continue shooting the suspect, even if the suspect is still alive
Do you know what the definition for "deadly force" is?
And I never said anything about trying to "wing" anyone. Double tap, center mass. That means you fire two rounds into the largest portion of the body, which is the torso. If the suspect is still standing, you double tap him again. You do that until he's no longer a threat. That may well result in the person's death, but the policeman's goal isn't to kill the suspect, it's to stop the suspect...
At 16:20, this cop is about to make a miraculous shot, which drops the guy instantly. Now do a count of how many shots came AFTER he was down from the first devastating shot. They light this motherfucker up for a couple minutes.
you said their job is to shoot to kill,, so back it up, show me where in the law or their job description thats what they are supposed to do,,
When police believe a suspect could harm or kill them, they're usually trained to fire as many gunshots as it takes to bring that suspect down.
Why police shoot so many times to bring down a suspect | CNN
Police shootings are usually high-stress situations where adrenaline takes over an officer's response -- but some factors explain why officers shoot as many times as they do.www.cnn.com
First, but an article on CNN doesn't take precedent over established law enforcement training.
Now, with that said, that statement is correct. I'll direct your attention to part where it says "bring that suspect down". Nowhere does it say anything about firing until the suspect is dead...
