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.”

The same guy who advised grannies to unload both barrels of a shotgun through the front door to deter a burglar.
When I was a kid ( many, many years ago), growing up in Tampa, FL, there was a man who sold deviled crabs from his bicycle and we would taunt him. “Pepe lu babo” (Joe the moron) we would yell and run.
Pepe lu babo - suits Old Joe to a T.
I guess Biden is just trying to compete with Trump’s loot and shoot statement. Where does the President want them to be shot?
He comes out of hiding only tpo say the dumbest thing possible. Shoot a unarmed man...with a knife in the leg. IF they are unarmed, police can use mace or a Taser as needed. If armed they use lethal force if needed as a last resort.
Does he he understand what the police carry these days, I bet he still thinks they have revolvers. It also shows he had never fired a gin in real live. Good luck hitting a moving target, like a leg under stress with a pistol.
Maybe the only legitimate target for a police officer will now be the actual weapon in the criminals hand? I mean, just shoot the weapon out of his hand, and problem solved? /sarc
Biden has been watching too many shoot-em-up Westerns.
If the circumstances allow, police have non-lethal options. But, in the situation described, no, you shoot at the body of the attacker.

Well, I’m just going to call up my dad, former LEO, tomorrow and let him know that Mozambique drill he taught me was wrong and Biden has a better way. lol.
All of these approved ‘non-lethal’ police tactics would likely have killed George Floyd (high on fentanyl & amphetamines): pepper spray, tasers & tear gas.
If you’re in a fair fight, your tactic’s suck.
I guess Joe volunteers for testing?

Nope.. if you take up arms or any deadly weapon against Any Law Enforcement WHO has politely informed you that you are under arrest you Deserve a bullet between the eyes not a bullet in the leg. Period.
We must not allow the conversation to turn towards disarming law enforcement.
