Joe Biden suggests police officers be trained to de-escalate situations involving dangerous suspects by shooting them in the leg. The Democratic presidential nominee made the controversial contention during a Thursday town hall moderated by ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulus.
Rather than shoot to kill in self-defense, Biden proposed wounding them instead.
Of course, I'm not a cop and so it's not up to me...however, one of my uncles was an L.A. cop for a long time. He believed in going for center-mass if shooting is necessary. Joe apparently is unaware of the fact that it's hard to hit a leg. Moreover, if one did manage to aim for a leg and hit it, chances of hitting the femoral artery are high are high. In which case the perp will bleed out in minutes.
