Just the latest liberal stupidity.

Wouldn’t it be better if police were properly drilled so they could hit what they aim at?

It should not be shoot to kill, or shoot to wound. It should be shoot to stop the action or the threat. Center mass can be taught easily and learned and committed to almost instinct. Annie Oakley, indeed, would have to be the range instructor.

Just because you shoot somebody in the arm or the leg, does not mean he is going to stop fighting!

It is not realistic, and it exists only in cartoons.

I think The Rifleman, The Lone Ranger, Gene Autry, Cheyenne, Maverick, Paladin, et. al. basically shot the gun out of the bad guy’s hand.

LOL, there is no forensic evidence to tell which bullet hit first ... is there? I don’t think so.

Phil Engledrum once wrote that the FBI standard of marksmanship was so low that they ought to be required to carry Uzis in shopping bags.

How about we just limit the LEOs to a sternly worded warning... on paper? Works for the UN.

Who knows where a cop was aiming?... "I was shootin' at his leg, but unfortunately hit him between the eyes ."

They ought to all quit and tell the NY legislature to do what they can to protect the people.

Ya know... shooting to wound is considered taboo in hunting. The least humane way to dispatch prey is to wound. There are no animals in the entire catalog of species that simply “wound” for no reason. Humanity is taking one step after another into territory that got our ancient ancestors killed. Why do you think we never hear about the great hunter gatherers of Australopithicus Obamanuts?
