To me, and likely the entire law enforcement community, Biden is now dangerously unelectable

This is ridiculous, so ignorant, dangerous. impractical and out of touch it sounds like Obama could have said it.

Joe Biden said Monday that police under attack in the line of duty should shoot their assailants “in the leg instead of the heart” as a way to avert the killing of civilians.

“Instead of standing there and teaching a cop, when there’s an unarmed person coming at them with a knife or something, you shoot them in the leg instead of in the heart is a very different thing. There’s a lot of different things that could change,” Biden said in a meeting with community leaders at Bethel AME Church in Wilmington, Del.

Biden’s remarks were made as cities across the nation continue to be engulfed in violent protests in the wake of the death of George Floyd, an African-American, in police custody in Minneapolis.

The former vice president’s suggestion was intended to reduce the number of fatal shootings by police, and was not meant to refer to the mob violence occurring in many cities over recent nights. But his remarks raised a number of questions.

First, his example bore no real relation to the death of Floyd, who was arrested under suspicion of trying to pass a counterfeit bill. He did not attack police officers with a weapon, nor was he killed by a gunshot.

Second, in Biden’s hypothetical, the person “coming at” police officers was carrying “a knife or something,” meaning, by definition, that he or she was not “unarmed.”

Third, the femoral artery runs down the thigh, making a gunshot to the leg potentially fatal.

Fourth, while police policy differs on the justification for the use of firearms, officers are taught to shoot only as a last resort and to assume that any shot could be lethal. They are instructed to aim at the upper torso, which presents the biggest target.



If police aim at a target half the width and an awkward angle it's fair to say they'll probably miss twice as many shots as they do now. All that will do is put officers in dire danger of their lives and double the threat to any innocent bystanders. A day of firearms training would have taught him that.

Not surprising coming from the dolt who suggested in case of danger: " ...walk out, put that double-barrelled shotgun and fire two blasts outside the house.”
Right, the best defense is being completely disarmed.

Hell yeah, unarmed with a knife. If that was in a skit on SNL people would be like: “ he’s dumb, but not that dumb!”
That type of pandering while being insane cannot be allowed to run this country.

The words " law enforcement" are in the thread title so yeah it probably is around here.
What do you think of Biden's advice/counsel on how he feels law enforcement should be trained in life or death situations?

It's in the OP you're busy ignoring.
You get around to it, let me know.
Well he is wrong, that is what they make stun gunz for. And if you are too out of shape to catch the criminal then stop eating donuts.

No, that's moronic.
You don't hope to stun a person running at you with a knife. That's not proper use of force at all.

And it's obviously not about chasing after a bad guy, it's when there’s an unarmed person coming at them with a knife or something, you shoot them in the leg instead of in the heart is a very different thing.
