The Dumbest Man in DC Wants to Retrain Cops to Shoot Armed and Dangeous Felons in the Leg or Shoulder

Joe Biden says that when cops are confronted with a violent criminal using deadly force against them, they should just go for winging shots or just shoot the guns out of the Bad Guys' hands.

Just like in those Tom Mix movies Ol' Joe enjoyed so much when he was an All American Flankerback in nineteen naughty-naught!

Our commander-in-chief, President Joe Biden, is apparently one such person. While giving a speech at the National Action Network's Martin Luther King Jr. Day breakfast in Washington, the "leader" of the free world decided to weigh in on your local police force should be handling situations where a firearm is necessary.

"We have to retrain cops," said Biden. "Why should you always shoot with deadly force? The fact is if you need to use your weapon, you don't have to do that."

Video below.

In the world inhabited by the non-mentally-demented, 2022 was a year in which law enforcement saw an increase in fatalities inflicted on them by criminals, thanks to the wave of chaos and murder unleashed on the country by the Democrat Party.

Fraternal Order of Police National Vice President Joe Gamaldi sounded the alarm on a growing number of law enforcement fatalities in 2022 Sunday on "Fox News Live."

Firearms-related fatalities claimed the lives of 64 police officers in 2022, contributing to a roughly 21% increase from the average of 53 per year from 2010-2020, according to data from the National Law Enforcement Memorial Fund (NLEOMF).

"It's absolutely horrible. Unfortunately, the war on cops in 2022 just continued to march on. We had 331 police officers shot. That's a 13% increase since 2019. We had nearly 90 ambush attacks and 64 of those officers lost their lives," Gamaldi said.
Firearms-related fatalities have claimed the lives of 64 officers in 2022.

"And that comes on the heels of 2021, which was the deadliest year for law enforcement and intentional homicides in over two decades. Now, you combine that with what we're seeing nationwide, where we've had over 20,000 homicides for two years in a row. We haven't seen that since the 1990s."

Gamaldi told host Bill Melugin he believes there are five reasons why more police officers have been killed in the past year, saying a "culture of lawlessness" has gripped the country.

He argued more deaths were caused by "an open border, rogue DAs, activist judges, a revolving door criminal justice system, and generally a society that tells people you're no longer accountable for your own actions."

"So the leaders in this country, from the White House on down, need to understand that we're fighting for the very soul of our nation right now and we're losing. And that's why we see chaos and disorder everywhere we look. And we just can't go on like this," Gamaldi continued.

Melugin asked what other reasons could be behind the increase in fatalities besides a growing anti-police movement.

"We in law enforcement have been treated like crap for the better part of a decade. We've been demonized, we've been denigrated, and people just have less and less respect for law enforcement. But they also know that they're not going to be held accountable for their actions," Gamaldi responded.

Both Democratic lawmakers and members of the media have pushed the movement to defund police.

35 It's painfully obvious that neither Mush-Brains nor any of his handlers have the first clue how difficult it is to hit limbs in such a situation. In addition, a limb hit is extremely unlikely to stop an attacker, particularly one juiced up on adrenalin and probably other substances too. Typical of idiots that have no experience with firearms and have watched and believed way too many piss-poor Hollywood films. There is a reason Soldiers (and, presumably cops as well) are taught to shoot for center-of-mass: largest target and much more likely to put someone down quickly. Not to mention the 7-meter rule.

Posted by: Christopher J Whitaker at January 17, 2023 12:11 PM (gmxXe)

36 We obviously need to re-equip our police with limb-seeking projectiles. But then, that hideous new statue in Boston would be Swiss cheese in a week.

I wonder if sub-morons like Joe Biden have ever seen or even really thought about what happens when you get "winged." I mean, it worked on cheesy TV westerns. In reality, maybe not so much.

37 Eight long years Barnaby Jones was private dicking all over California. Shot at many times, wounded a couple. Shot dozens of suspects, winged almost all of them in shoulder or arm. If a 70+ year-old retired buck dancer can do that, can't all police be trained to shoot to wing?

46 Cops are trained to kill citizens. They are told that all citizens are hostile combatants in a war zone looking to kill cops. They will kill citizens over anything and are basically assured that as long as they can prove you weren't in compliance they will get away with executing you. In fact, they will probably get a medal on the floor of Congress.

They mace grandmas. They arrest families for eating at McDonalds without a vaccine card. They arrest veterans for cutting hair in a pandemic. They arrest preachers and priests for holding church service. They arrest people and imprison them for protesting and while they are in jail, abuse them.


I don't care what happens to cops. Cops are the enforcement arm of the government that will willingly oppress and, if they feel like it, murder the people that are forced to pay for their upkeep.

If a murdered that isn't a cop, starts murdering children, cops will stand outside and wait as those children are all murdered. Only when the cop is sure that the murderer is out of ammunition and is done murdering children will the cop then go in and shoot the murder, if the murdered hasn't already killed themself.

This is reality.

Double barrel. Fire two blasts thereby weakening the barrier between you and any intruder. Then you just hope that they attended Maryland public schools so that they cannot count high enough to know that your shotgun is empty.

89 I have been around guns for my entire life, and have been shooting them a lot.

The idea that a policeman can be retrained to shoot for non-lethal areas on a bad guy's body is stupid even for Sponge-Brain Biden.

Add a drop of adrenaline, even at a range, and hitting the target becomes a challenge. Add a target that shoots back?

No cop in his right mind would bother with anything other lots of rounds fired at center-of-mass, no matter how many regulations say that is the preferred target.

Republicans only scoff at my ideas because they're lousy shots. Democrats, now you know Democrats are straight shooters.

It's like when I was on the Amtrak heading west back during the Gelded Age. There was an attraction called "Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show," and I knew that name rang a bell. That's when it hit me - I'd seen this Russian ultra-MAGA in a Netflix documentary called Silence of the Muttonchops.

I couldn't believe that they'd just give a fatphobic misogynist patriarch his own stage show, but the West was pretty Republican back then, so it makes sense. Anyway, I told Mayor Pete to drive my Amtrak to this thing to see if he's there, and whaddya know, but these ultra-MAGAs were always gun nuts - the whole thing was WMD-themed.

When Democrats see insurrectionists training to overthrow Our Sacred Democracy, they take action. So I stood on top of that locomotive, and shot Jame Gumb right between his beady Russian eyes from 600 yards away. Then I scalped his lady sidekick for good measure. I learned that from Geronimo. Still sniff that hair to this day. Word as a Brandon.

It's really a blue city problem since the "elected" city councils and mayors and DAs want the chaos, so they enforce that through orders to the highest levels of the police.

In redder America, it's significantly less of a problem.

It just reminds me how the vast majority of black criticism of "America" is actually a criticism of urban living under Democrats.

134 @46 If a murdered that isn't a cop, starts murdering children, cops will stand outside and wait as those children are all murdered.

----

Depends on the department, as the rot starts at the top. Amply illustrated in the shooting in Broward County where the deputies all gathered around outside. But the cops who arrived subsequently and who weren't part of the Sheriff's Office ignored the deputies standing around outside and went straight in. The difference was who was running the departments in question.

There have been plenty of instances in which the cops did as they ought to have done in such cases and did their best to promptly deal with the shooter. The reason why we remember Uvalde is because it was an outlier.

143 "Why should you always shoot with deadly force?"

Well, given that you and your ilk have reinforced the idea in every black person's head that the police are out to kill them, it creates a lot of needless fight or flight situations which used to devolve into what people would call police brutality, even when it was just use of nonlethal force. Since "police brutality" is not acceptable and brings all kinds of legal problems, lethal force becomes a less problematic approach.

Oh, and shooting in the leg can be pretty lethal given that there are major arteries there and the blood loss from one of those can be severe.

171 Well, given that you and your ilk have reinforced the idea in every black person's head that the police are out to kill them, it creates a lot of needless fight or flight situations which used to devolve into what people would call police brutality, even when it was just use of nonlethal force. Since "police brutality" is not acceptable and brings all kinds of legal problems, lethal force becomes a less problematic approach.

182 This sort of misunderstanding comes from watching TV and movies with no practical experience with firearms whatsoever. Essentially, you aim at the center of mass to stop the threat--not to necessarily kill them but in order to stop a drug addled person not feeling pain or an adrenaline enraged violent thug, you have to a) put a big hole in them so that sudden blood pressure loss in vital organs stops them or rely on the harder central nervous system hit.

The arms, legs, and head are mobile and much harder to hit and in football, you are trained to hit and tackle the parts that are not movable such as the pelvis and central torso. For the same reason, you shoot at the same target as someone can flail their arms or move their legs enough to make it difficult to hit them. Ditto for the head by bobbing and weaving.

So, for a stop, you have the central torso or the pelvic girdle as targets. The pelvic girdle is a useful target as a powerful enough bullet can actually shatter some of the pelvic bones making it mechanically impossible for the pelvic girdle to support weight and mobility. There are also nerves, major blood vessels, and organs in the vicinity that can stop.

197 Shit for brains actually said "unarmed with a knife".

Numerous studies have shown that an individual with a knife in hand can be 20 feet away, and they can make up that distance before one can draw a firearm and stop the threat.

There was an old guy who had done prison time in an apt building I once lived. He told me he would rather get shot than stabbed, all things considered. I suspect he had some experience in this equation.

Regardless, Joe is doing what Joe does best. Talking shit and inciting racial tensions. He's been doing this for 50 years. He's not only a law enforcement expert, he's an expert on Insurance, too. I hope that fucker dies in a fire.

There is no justification in any way to take these ambulatory pieces of shit seriously. I hope all the Biden backers and apologists are happy. Stupid fuckers.

210 160 Seriously, what a perverted view of violence, not to mention justice. If the situation doesn't warrant lethal force.... then why are you at all justified in pointing and firing a firearm in the first place?

It's the worst of both worlds. Do you use abridged force when maximum force is needed? Or do you use abridged force when zero force is warranted?

Posted by: Warai-otoko
------
Use of force is supposed to be proportional for police. So, the police cannot shoot a fleeing property burglar without evidence that he is a violent criminal (Tennessee v. Garner).

A known reputation as being a violent fleeing felon or demonstrating the ability to hurt the police with a deadly or incapacitating weapon such as a knife, Taser, firearm, axe, 2x4 or so on can be met with deadly force if the range that the perp has is close enough to the police to have the opportunity to harm them.

Tueller drill is what it is called. Basically it relies on action beats reaction. Take roughly 1.5-2 seconds to draw a firearm, a bit less if the firearm is at low ready. In the 1.5-2 seconds, a perp even obese can reach a police officer with an edged weapon and a lot of soft body armor is not designed to prevent knife wounds but would stop a slug from a pistol.

We may not pay as much as the blue areas, but the cost of living is usually a heck of a lot less. I can't say anything for the rest of red America, but my Omaha neighbors and I are happy as all get out with a cop living on our block. (He wasn't that happy at three in the morning when some imbecile decided to fire a few rounds off because he had to get out of his comfy bed and deal with it. We all heard about unhappy he was for the next few weeks.) We nod and smile at our cops, and teach our kids to respect the nice officer and do what he or she tells them to do. Of course, we also have those couple of areas where cops are hated, but they are small areas, not the entire city.

256 A few thoughts:

1) Anyone who's taken a serious defensive handgun course knows that shooting to "wing" is just stupid, and very likely to do nothing to get a stop. Plus what's lurking behind that arm your round just zipped through? Little Johnny, or the pregnant lady??

2) And as far as using a shotgun according to the Biden Doctrine of Home Defense, you'd be amazed to see the damage that one can cause at close range to limbs. And yes, there's plenty of large arteries in the thigh and upper arm that a person can bleed out from rapidly. I've seen gangbangers bleed out and die from femoral artery gunshot wounds.

3) However, in accord with the Biden Doctrine of home defense, I've got an 870 Police model with buckshot and "coded options." Any intruder in my home is going to get a very rude, terminal surprise. No winging shots at the Casa Mabuse.

The pension programs are generous, and the Union is very powerful. Sure, some cops might get the bad luck of the draw, and be selected as a sacrificial victim for another Democrat coalition group like BLM. BUT, most will go through the motions for decades in a zero accountability environment, and then cash out. You can be a lazy cop, or a crooked cop, or a psycho cop, doesn't much matter.

Trying those behaviors in a different environment would be disastrous for the bad cops, so they stay where they're wanted/encouraged.

There's plenty of footage out there of male cops going straight to their tasers or their guns whether a threat is present or not.

Or the guy pulling a gun on the uniformed enlisted man in a gas station because he didn't pull over fast enough. All kinds of fuckery goes on out there.

274 239 Personally, I am surprised you can find a single cop in any blue majority city. I would have thought they would all have left for red cities and states. We may not pay as much as the blue areas, but the cost of living is usually a heck of a lot less. I can't say anything for the rest of red America, but my Omaha neighbors and I are happy as all get out with a cop living on our block. (He wasn't that happy at three in the morning when some imbecile decided to fire a few rounds off because he had to get out of his comfy bed and deal with it. We all heard about unhappy he was for the next few weeks.) We nod and smile at our cops, and teach our kids to respect the nice officer and do what he or she tells them to do. Of course, we also have those couple of areas where cops are hated, but they are small areas, not the entire city.
Posted by: Captain Josepha Sabin
----------
The pay in the blue cities is better because of unions and remember that about twenty years ago, almost every single major city was trying to lower crime, not encourage it and supported the police. So, you get a lot of good cops like Wyatt that are staying in shitty and dangerous blue cities for pensions.

Probably. We also do it wrong. The system should be recast as assumed risk and then you just insure you and yours. I can carry insurance or not. It pays *me.* Someone wrecks my car? Sucks for me. My insurance covers me. I get injured in a wreck? Sucks for me. My insurance covers me.

One of the reasons - there are many - that auto insurance is so expensive is that you have to carry it for a bad case scenario for an unknown harmed party. If you have assets, this means you have to carry even more insurance. Having to carry $250k or more in insurance is necessary for a whole lot of people, even if they only drive a $20k car. A lot of that is medical, but the property damage liability is huge, too, because you don't know what the other guy is driving prior to the accident.

The whole system is almost designed to be expensive. Just shift the whole damn mess to assumed risk and carry the level of insurance you need for yourself.

Yet in some states you don't have a "right" to defend youself or your home except in extreme circumstances, and even then, a judge or jury of your "peers" decides whether you used excessive force or not. I mean, you probably didn't say "please" when asking the guy to stop beating you to death.

325 Hunter Biden’s monthly rent of $49,910 matches a rental deposit at the House of Sweden related to the Biden family business venture with the infamous CEFC China Energy Co. Hunter’s $49,910 deposit also matches the amount of money he logged on a 2018 background check document unearthed by the New York Post’s Miranda Devine.

In LAPD, a female street cop was shot in the heart by a 357 magnum while pursuing a suspect. She lived and got the creep that shot her.

An instant stop usually requires either someone that will stop what they are doing if they are shot by anything (a lot of ill doers) or a hard case that requires a central nervous system hit or perhaps a direct hit on the heart before it pumps fresh oxygenated blood into the system. A pelvic girdle hit might also stop their mobility by causing collapse depending on the degree of damage (big heavy slow bullets like a 45 ACP work better for this).

In fact, I bet a lot of big blue departments have a strong desire for at least some number of straight-up crooked cops. You need people with flexible morality and hopefully a lot of compromising evidence against them in your pocket, for the day when you get a call saying "Look, Seth Rich is 'getting robbed' tonight, and it's going to go sideways, right?" Even if the cops aren't pulling the trigger themselves, you can count on them to "investigate" correctly.

338 All shots with a gun are life threatening, deadly force.

No matter where you are hit.

The assumption that medical care will keep the bullet hole in your hand from a fatal infection is as stupid as the notion that is easy to shoot a gun out of someone's hand.

What angers and saddens me is the intended audience. They just heard no less the the President of the United States telling them cops are intentionally, recklessly killing black people.

And, depending on where you are, rural cops can be their owned brand of awful. The SD where I grew up was stunningly corrupt. Probably a higher percentage of crooked cops than any big city department, given that it was all of them except one that I knew of (he was independently wealthy and kept himself clean).

Or you can get the kind of State police corruption like the Clintons had in AR - a cadre of dependable guys to help out with the rapes, murders and drug-running.

FYI, a 20 gauge shotgun shell is about .615 in inches and a 12 gauge is about .729.

Heavy and relatively slow slugs can do you substantial harm. A cop, I think in New Mexico, was shot by a 45-70 rifle slug and died despite wearing a vest. The 45-70 slug did not penetrate but had enough momentum to literally crush the chest of the officer enough to cause a spike in blood pressure leading to an aneurysm in the brain. RIP.

Also, "Law Enforcement" is a BS term intended to set up the mercenary thug as the good guy. You have been brainwashed since birth to accept an evil situation, where something as simple as driving faster than some arbitrary value puts you at risk of being murdered by a thug.

452 I actually think that there's a point buried in his idiocy that is not the point he's trying to make. When they started prohibiting liberal use of the night stick, making "choke holds" illegal, prohibiting putting "pressure" on someone's back etc. they basically gave cops no choice but to let the perps resist arrest until you get four guys to pin his arms and legs, or shoot the f*cker.

Not only is it almost impossible to control someone resisting without controlling the head/neck, but the irony is that most "choke holds" (blood chokes) are the most humane, least damaging ways to subdue someone imaginable. In BJJ we choke each other out constantly. So long as you're not on the trache, you're good.

Same with hiring female LE. Good in theory, but almost always leaves a gap in the force continuum between "using your outside voice" and lethal force.

Bring back the nightstick. Train cops on how to use it. Institute real physical requirements for cops (including minimum size/strength) and shootings will go down. That and 99% of the time you won't win stupid prizes unless you play stupid games.
