it's all over the internet with a basic searchYes. That would be a violation of orders. You watch too much television. If a cop misses that leg or the suspect does not go down as expected and so much as steps on a toe the City is on the hook for as much as can be milked. The officer was negligent. The city did not adequately train the officer. The liability is enormous. They train to hit center mass and keep firing until the threat is over. Failure to follow orders is a termination.Right. So I'M out of contact with reality and a cop will get fired for taking down an assailant with a non-lethal wound that leaves him alive able to go to the hospital to stand trial.Your point is not reality. If you wish to do less damage you will be a police officer only so long as it takes your supervisor to ask for your badge.![]()
I can understand someone being squeamish at the sight of blood or a dead body. Don't be embarrassed or anything. Law enforcement is just not for you.
Right. If a cop shoots a guy in the gut, they are going to know he deliberately aimed low to save a life and fire him. That's why they give cops all these things like billy clubs, shot guns, tasers, tear gas and all these other things, right? Because their orders are shoot to kill, even when it is entirely unneeded or unnecessary. Man, you must have one GIANT big asshole to fit your whole head up inside it!![]()
''''even a good shot'''
[If it came down to it and two men did throw down in the street, they were frantically emptying their chambers as quickly as possible, just trying their hardest to kill the other guy first. It is not probable that a man, even a good shot, could - under the circumstances - kill another with one fatal wound/QUOTE]
