Joe Biden said Monday that police -- if facing a threat from a person with "a knife or something" -- should be trained to “shoot ‘em in the leg instead of the heart,” amid five straight days of protest following the death of George Floyd.
“Instead of standing there and teaching a cop when there’s an unarmed person coming at ‘em with a knife or something, shoot ‘em in the leg instead of in the heart,” Biden said in an address to black community leaders in Wilmington, Del.
“There are a lot of things that can change,” Biden said, regarding police training. [Video]

Right, bozo. A cop who is about to be shot should tell the perp "Wait, let me aim for your leg."

Train them to ''Shoot 'em in the leg instead of the heart''
That's not something you would ''train'' police to do. It's something you would direct them to do. Police already know how to shoot.
Leg shots would just open up a field day for the perps and their lawyers!

Just shows you how stupid Biden and his handlers are. That only works in movies and TV shows. Legs and arms are smaller and flail around a lot more than the torso. If you're going to use deadly force, aim for the torso.

Yes, good ol'Joe wants the police to aim at armed perps' legs where stray bullets are far more likely to sail off and kill innocent people.
Way to go, Joe!!!

An unarmed person coming at you with a knife …. OK Joe. What kind of weapon would an unarmed person have to come at me with before I could shoot him center mass ? Maybe I should just fire a "warning shot". Idiot.

Plugs, is a knife faster than a speeding bullet? Will a bullet in the leg stop a 250-pound antifa thug who is resisting arrest and is on meth? Isn't a choke hold an effective way to subdue someone who is resisting arrest and when the police must protect themselves? Should police handle black on white or black on black crimes the same way?
So Plug's has a plan:
1. Throw knife
2. Shoot in the leg
3. Ask the thug for permission to be arrested
Great plan, Plugs.

We can play games with the definition of "armed/unarmed" but a person "coming at' em with a knife or something" presents a lethal threat, Joe. Largest target= Upper body mass.

"“Instead of standing there and teaching a cop when there’s an unarmed person coming at ‘em with a knife or something, shoot ‘em in the leg instead of in the heart,” Biden said.
How can he believe a person attacking with a knife is "unarmed?" Is he terminally stupid?

Crazy Joe just wants another excuse to show his hairy legs, legs that chased Corn Pop and his gangstas away 6 decades ago.
As to leg shot, Biden says it’s okay as long a police don’t hit a major artery, femur, ACL, MCL or meniscus.

Why not aim for the groin? I'm sure it's a much smaller target on these losers.

Think Joe is missing the point and doesn't know what he is talking about all at the same time.
How long before a person bleeds to death if the bullet hits an artery? Police need effective ways to take down armed criminals without killing them, and not getting injured or killed in the process.
This has nothing to do with George Floyd. He was already in handcuffs, and the police still used excessive force. What Joe is talking about doesn't address that situation at all.
Not very helpful Joe!

More problems are often caused by leg shots than center mass. Just saying.

Here is my offer Joe. One million dollars. I have a knife, you have a gun. I come at you and you shoot my leg. We make it a prime time broadcast so everyone can see how effective it is. What do you say Joe? This would be the perfect chance to show the world how brilliant you are. Two rules to approximate the real world vs whatever circus is going on inside your thick skull. One you have your gun holstered. Two we start the exercise 21 feet apart when I say go.
The beauty of Joe Biden is it really points out just how insane his rat followers are. Here is some info for Joe and his Army of losers - https://www.policeone.com/edged-weapons/articles/edged-weapon-defense-is-or-was-the-21-foot-rule-valid-part-1-72xXzcruzNfY45GU/

Did Joe watch the video of the woman being attacked by rabid animals with a 2x4? They were moving pretty fast. Hard to shoot the legs - especially with a pistol! My anger peaked as I watched. I would not have hesitated to end the ability of those subhumans to breathe. A Mossburg 500 pump-action 12-gauge would have gotten their attention quickly and efficiently.

Joseph Biden is a joke, and is in full pandering mode to the biggest leftist and liberal Democrat racial identity based constituency group, the urban Black population, a good percentage of who are showing these days that they are too stupid to recognize that by rioting they have destroyed much of the critical commercial infrastructure in their communities, especially the now burned down and looted grocery stores and other businesses that their “community” has relied upon for all sorts of daily life related services. Soon the Black “community” is going to wake up and recognize that those grocery stores and other businesses are not coming back anytime soon, leaving them living without those services in a so-called “food desert”. They will also find themselves in despair if they think that the local and State level leftist and liberal Democrat politicians who stood back and facilitated the destruction of that Black “community” critical commercial infrastructure will help them in anyway beyond trying to cast blame on others.
Biden saying that he wants to retrain all US police departments to shoot violent criminal suspects in their legs rather than center of mass is ridiculous. Biden and other leftist and liberal Democrats absolutely cannot come out and criticize the Black rioters as those rioters, their families, and their friends are the very people who the Democrats depend upon to keep them in political power. Biden touting the Obama-Biden Administration assisting minority communities is also ridiculous as Barack Obama, Joseph Biden, and their “Hope and Change” fraudulent mantra were in the White House for eight years and look at the state of inner city Black “communities” today! Biden himself is an old style corrupt liberal Democrat “UniParty” lawyer-politician who has been in DC for well over forty years much of the time in the past hobnobbing with the old Southern segregationist Senators and has in reality done nothing for the inner city Black populations except BS them.

Believe me, at 21 feet separation I'd much rather get into a gun fight than a knife fight. At 21 feet most people with a gun will miss. At close quarters with knives everybody gets cut.

Clearly Joseph Biden and the other leftist and liberal Democrats are angling for the inner city Black “communities” to self police themselves, in accordance with the law of the jungle, as once the leftist and liberal calls for the local police to essentially be turned into community social workers are implemented, such an ill considered ridiculous policy would leave the law of the jungle as the only way to deal with violent criminals in those communities.
Biden calling for local police during encounters with armed violent criminals to only be lawfully allowed to shoot them in a leg rather than center of mass is beyond ridiculous.

That's Biden's answer? Shoot them in the leg? Talk about shooting your mouth off-what if law enforcement actually did this? I can't even imagine the trouble this would cause. Keep talking Joe...oh how I can't wait for the debates.

As a veteran of the United States Army and as a single woman, I must say Biden is an absolute idiot. Imagine a single woman alone at home and her house is being invaded, and she shoots the perp in the leg. This enrages the perp, he comes for her throat, and it's over for the woman. Period. End of HER story. And imagine the military being trained to shoot the enemies in the legs. There is little doubt in my mind that Biden thinks this would be a great idea. God forbid that Biden would become commander in chief. MAGA!!

Idiot. Obviously has never had any firearms training. You shoot for center mass. Even a head shot is as hard as hell to make with a pistol from a distance over 5 yards.

Joe is confusing shooting himself in the foot, with shooting people in the leg. I'm sure his handlers told him that he had to stop shooting himself in the foot with his gaffes and somehow he mixed it up with the police shooting people.
I sure hope Biden's handlers don't joke around and bring up castration. There's no telling what he might say.
