Presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden said Monday police should be trained to shoot at the legs of assailants, which police training experts decry as impractical and dangerous.
"We also have to fundamentally change the way police are trained," he said. "The idea that instead of standing there and teaching a cop when there's an unarmed person that's coming at them with a knife so they shoot him in the leg instead of in the heart, is a very different thing. There's a lot of different things that can change."
Biden addressed parishioners and local leaders at a black church in Wilmington, Delaware,

"...when there's an unarmed person with a knife" coming at them, huh Joe? Good lord, the stupid is so strong with him.

If wielding a knife means that one is not armed, how about an axe? Or a pick handle. Maybe a machete? The man's stupidity is boundless.

Too many words in the article. Let me summarize: shoot to kill. Stop the threat.
Good grief. It’s not rocket science.

Spoken like a senile man who sits on the chair in front of the fire and pontificates on things he knows little about, and advising persons who put their lives on the line. in order to protect his right to safe peace and quite. No policeperson or a member of the military is expendable in order to protect the wrong doer and the enemy of the nation. One can see the start of the movement that non white persons committing crimes should never be confronted by the law enforcement officers, and/or, if the malefactors are confronted and show any form of resistance, it should be the police that should quit the scene. All in the name of tolerance and diversity and equal treatment under the law and to avoid any taint of "racism". This is exactly what is going on all over Europe starting with England and France with their POC and Muslim populations. The consequence is the increasing tracts of their land which have become lawless "no go" areas.

And we should also shoot the guns out of killer's hands... without hitting their hand, mind you.

biden once advised people to 'shoot the shotgun through the door' if threatened. That would be illegal in every state- even Texas.
Police officers don't 'shoot to kill.' They shoot at body mass to stop the threat.
Police snipers shoot to kill, as an exception to that rule.
Biden seems to think a knife is not a serious weapon. He should ask Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman about that. Or he should ask his secret service detail.
wait. he can't.

"...that way, when you miss, you can send a bullet flying indiscriminately into whoever is behind your attacker."
Apparently Biden doesn't realize that bullets can kill people you weren't shooting at. You want bullets to hit what you were aiming at, transfer all of their energy into that target, and harm nothing else. The best way to do that is to hit them center mass.
Stopping power works both ways.

A head shot is more effective. Center mass most reliable.
Re#4: I remember seeing an old Hopalong Cassidy show where he instantly dropped a raging buffalo, with a revolver, from about 200 yards, to save a beautiful woman! Hehe! Biden must have seen the same show.

Apparently, black churches are exempt from anti-Christian, left wing hate. Only predominantly white Christian churches are bad. And it seems that the black parishioners are to blind to see the blatant pandering!

Someone tell Biden the old man in the basement surrounded by Secret Service men and women with guns that if a person is shot in the leg and the bullet hits an artery in the leg, he/she can bleed to death before help arrives. He is really "stuck on stupid."

How about shoot the knife wielding threat in the 'gnads' so he can't reproduce or have a desire to sniff hair like Joe Biden does.
Joey Fingers is a senile low IQ idiot living out his life in La La Land.

in accordance with the law, law enforcement trains to use the minimum amount of force necessary to stop the threat. Split second high stress situations do not lend themselves to 'aim' for a foot, leg, arm etc. What a foolish concept from a non-serious swamp hack who has accomplished nothing in 40 years other than enriching himself while orchestrating the decline of America.

All the life long union dopes, the hysterical women who can't imagine a world without the slaughter of inconvenient pregnancies, the poorly educated youths who think life owes them a free lunch, the usual rat parasites, foreign criminals, 7th century barbarians, pony tailed punks tucked into college faculty, and every other loser on the planet, thinks this is a great plan. They are proud to march behind a truly creepy, senile, bully.

Biden is just parroting the Leftist mantra here about the unarmed. They don't consider a knife wielding suspect to be armed. Only those who use guns. After watching enough reality crime shows regarding real cases, I know that a leg shot can be more fatal than a chest shot. Why? Because there is a major artery in your legs that if even just nicked, can make you bleed to death in minutes, and chest shots are actually more survivable if done properly. Police are trained to do it properly. In fact, thanks to legal liability, leg shots can actually cause big ticket lawsuits by criminals and their dodgy attorneys. Pain and suffering doncha know.

The biggest laugh is that this guy thinks he can be president.
Unfortunately, stupidity is not restricted to the stupid. I once had a philosophy professor, Ph.D of course, who stated that if all guns were confiscated and destroyed there would most likely be peace on earth within two generations. I had to bite on my notebook so I didn't laugh out loud.

Once again proving that he is still an idiot.
"Uarmed" but with a knife? How infinitely stupid can you be? There are many, many millions of people dead by knives - blades are STILL valid, dangerous, deadly weapons. This is obvious to everyone but Idiot Joe.
