Joe Biden's idea of "de-escalating"

[Tgo01]

Seriously this deserves its own thread.

That is Joe Biden saying we should ban police choke holds and instead teach police how to de-escalate situations, one of his suggestions is to train officers to shoot people in the leg instead of shoot to kill.

Yes that's right! The man who wants to be the next president of the US suggests shooting people in the leg as a "de-escalation" tactic.

How the fuck are any of you fuckers going to look yourself in the mirror and vote for this guy? Seriously how?

[Tgo01]

It didn't need it's own topic ;) I'd shoot you in the leg instead of the head if it meant you'd lay down.

I love the fact that people die from being shot in the leg. Legally, there is no, zero, none, not one non-lethal use if a firearm. If you shoot someone, the law requires that it be considered deadly force. And on top of this leg shooting insanity, something like 97+ percent of gunfights happen at 21 feet or less, like 90+ at 7 feet or less and even then, something like 85+ percent of shots fired never hit anyone. Give that kind of accuracy, you want cops to shoot someone in the leg. I think Hunter shared some of his crack with pops.

It's not even so much that he wants cops to do trick shots and shoot people in the legs, that's bad enough as is (shit if you're going to that we might as well go full Hollywood and train cops to shoot guns out of people's hands), but the fact that this is his idea of "de-escalating" a situation.

Try to sell that plan to the Black Lives Matter crowd.

"I am here to save the black people from the evils of the racist cops! My new plan will teach police officers how to de-escalate! That's right! Instead of training them to calm a situation down I want them to be trained to shoot people in the legs! No need to thank me!"

There's a reason they teach you to shoot center mass and not a limb. You're way more likely to hit your target hitting them in the torso than the leg. Shooting them in the leg may not do anything to slow them down.

[drauz]

He's not wrong about the de-escalation techniques needing to more prominent in police training, but he's definitely wrong about the needed technique. Shooting in the leg isn't the way to go about it.

He's been in politics for 47 years.

I think he knows what's best for you.

This time.. this next 4 years.. will be WAY different than the past 47 years though.. so you should vote for Biden.

[Gelston]

You can teach people to shoot someone in the leg all you want, but when that person gets into a life or death situation, or a situation their brain perceives as life or death, most people are going to square their body with their target and ammo dump.

I know you prefer that officers continue to execute folks as a means of pacification. The rest of us understand that when it becomes necessary to use a gun, but lethal force isn't necessary that disabling someone via a leg or wing shot isn't a bad idea.

Unless of course you get stiff misinterpreting statements in any possible way to justify your own existence. In which case, rock on

Holy shit. You're incredibly retarded. You do know that a leg shot is much harder than a torso shot, AND a leg shot has a decently higher chance of killing you, because a femoral artery hit will cause you to bleed out in less than 2 minutes, without IMMEDIATE medical care, whereas a torso hit generally gives a greater amount of time for medical care to be effective.

That is actually a terrible idea. If you have a gun out, you should be shooting to kill.

You're dumber than Biden if you think firing a gun at anytime is an act of "de-escalation."

You're even dumber than Back and Biden combined if you think someone should be trained to only aim for legs and arms. You have any idea how hard it is to hit a moving target in the chest, especially when you're being fired at? Now try that same shit with a moving target while you're just aiming for legs and arms. I'm sure the innocent bystanders standing around would just love all of the missed shots from officers flying around while the madman with a gun continues firing his gun at officers for much longer than he should be allowed to.

[Tgo01]

Just wanted to remind everyone that Biden thinks shooting someone in the leg is a form of de-escalation.

Someone should tell Joe that if you shoot them in the head they can't escalate the situation at all.

Yes, yes... the police are executing people left and right... do you know the actual statistics or are you just going by what CNN tells you?

Jesus.. you just made Biden look less dumb.

I mean this is the same guy who said to blast your door with a shotgun as a warning shot. Then someone did it and went to jail.

And you wonder why nobody here takes anything you say seriously.

Back in 2010 the New York Post has reported that Brooklyn Assembly Members Annette Robinson [D.-Bedford Stuyvesant] and Darryl Towns [D.-East New York] have introduced a “minimum force” bill that would require officers to “shoot a suspect in the arm or the leg” and to use firearms “with the intent to stop, rather than kill.”

Joe Biden's response? When Michael Paladino, president of New York’s Detectives Endowment Association, showed him the bill he reportedly scoffed and suggested that it be called the “John Wayne Bill” because of the unrealistic, movie-like sharpshooting skills it demands of officers.

Strange.... guess he forgot he helped to stop that particular piece of legislation from going through.

Biden's idea about having a psychologist go with police to address disturbances is impractical. A psychologist might be helpful in some domestic disputes, but there's no way police can afford to take one with them on every call. Am I misunderstanding what Biden is proposing?

Psychology is fake science anyway.

Biden is the biggest, lying, two-faced grifter to have ever existed.

Obama was pretty bad too, you're right.

And John Lovitz from Saturday Night Live back when it was still funny.

Aww, someone's SAD about how much fun is made of the current administration by the current lineup of SNL. Try watching it on re-runs post-brainwashing once you wash off the cheeto dust, you'll find it's actually pretty fucking hilarious.

It's SAD that you believe SNL is funny. That show hasn't been funny in a decade... and it's gone downhill since the 80's.

[Menos]

It's SAD that you believe SNL is funny. That show hasn't been funny in a few decades... and it's gone downhill since the 80's.

Fixed it for you.

[Parkbandit]

Fixed it for you.

Eh.. I kinda liked it when Will Ferrell was on it. Definitely liked it when Chris Rock/Chris Farley/Phil Hartman/Adam Sandler was on it... that was what.. 2000?

I couldn't tell you one person on it today. It's just not funny at all and hasn't been in quite some time.

[Suppa Hobbit Mage]

Not many that have 47 years of doing it, no.

[Tgo01]

Just here with another friendly reminder that according to Joe Biden if police think you are being a bit too hysterical during a traffic stop they should engage in de-escalation tactics like shooting you in the leg.

I haven't paid attention to SNL in years so I have no idea what they're doing, but I'm not surprised that it's full of butthurt. Much like you. Because you're a gigantic tard.

Another reminder that Biden wants cops to shoot people in the leg as a form or "de-escalation."
