Joe Biden on Monday suggested that police forces could train officers to shoot attackers in the legs in order to reduce potential fatalities.

There is “the idea that instead of standing there and teaching a cop when there’s an unarmed person, coming at him with a knife or something, to shoot him in the leg instead of in the heart,” Biden said. “There’s a lot of different things [policies] that can change.”

Close range

00 buckshot

Won’t be much leg left

Be more fun to take out more than one at a time by adding some distance

Yup! It takes 3-4 minutes to bleed out if the wound is a good clean cut! GOOD ADVICE, JOE!

Israel has been doing that for years. Suppressed Ruger 10-22’s to the leg, I’d prefer the kneecaps. Originally used to take out the dogs when making a raid.

Sounds like he’s speaking from near experience, I mean, I mean the thing, isn’t Biden the champ at shooting himself in the foot?

Little toe but only while the suspect is running. No shooting when the suspect is stationary.

I am surprised he did not recommend shooting the knife out of his hand.

Even better Joe... run around up behind them and hit them in the back of the head with a padded ball bat so as to prevent any possibility of a concussion. /s

A barefoot boy with shoes on,
stood sitting in the grass.
Along came a bumblebee,
and stung him in the elbow.
