Joe Biden just proved why he’s a moron when it comes to police officer safety in violent confrontations with unarmed attackers:
NY POST – Presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden suggested that police be trained to shoot individuals posing a threat to them “in the leg instead of the heart,” as the country grapples with its national outrage over the murder of George Floyd.
Biden brought up the idea while speaking to African American community leaders Monday at Bethel AME Church in Wilmington, Delaware.
The former vice president mostly sat and listened during the event, only speaking at the end to address the comments and concerns they raised.
“Instead of standing there and teaching a cop when there’s an unarmed person coming at them with a knife or something, shoot them in the leg instead of in the heart,” Biden said, going on to argue that “There’s a lot of different things that can change” in police training.
There’s a reason why police don’t train the way Biden suggests they train, because it doesn’t work! Police want to stop an attacker, not just wound them.
And this is especially true considering how many of these attackers are on drugs when police have to deal with them. They might not even feel a bullet in their leg.
Not to mention that a leg is far more difficult to hit than the center of someone’s chest in a panic situation because it’s a lot smaller. If a cop misses, then the attacker likely gets to him or her.
Biden also suggested again, as both he and Obama have in the past, that there’s institutional racism in the police force:
The former VP also made a pledge to those in attendance to “deal with institutional racism,” as well as to set up a police oversight body within the first 100 days of his presidency.
Absolute garbage. Police kill more white people than they do black people in altercations every year:
