The media just blows thing out of preportion

fake news

just like the original gif

I don't advocate for shooting people in the lung or the head, just for neutralizing threats. A bullet through the foot or a zap aren't neccessarily lethal. If someone rushes at a cop with the intent to kill and gets killed as a result, it is fair game imo

the attacker gets a taste of his own medicine, so to speak

you assume it is easy to just shoot someone non lethally

it's not

this isn't an action movie

Chaos, can you explain these difficulties?

shoot a moving target in the foot

try it

in the situation where they are rushing you or there is something else going on

it's an incredibly simplified and naive approach you are taking

also tasers are probably not as reliable as you think

the answer is you couldn't rogue

It has happened, many times. And shooting people is not just blam blam dead like a fucking action film.

No it isn't

10+ officers should have no problem hitting a leg or two, and if the target tries to attack, as I said, I hope they get a taste of their own medicine. neither the video nor image showed anything else going on. I agree that you shouldn't do it where it isn't applicable, but judging from the video nothing would have happened if any of the officers fired, the man did not move very fast besides at two or three points in the clip. I wouldn't see this method of approach failing in that specific case.

Unless, of course, the officers decided to fire at a bad time, which is their fault

I'm telling you that expecting resolution by some convenient method of takedown that also is non lethal is idiotic. These situations are not as simple as just taze them or shoot them in the foot. In practicality it is not reasonable to do such things with perfect confidence and a good outcome. Tasers are not the most reliable weapons either just so you know. It's fucking stupid of you two to criticise cops for being careful, why the fuck should they be pointlessly gungho to use force on the man at risk to themselves.

you criticised them for quickly moving away from the guy

it looked dumb, you are going to have to give better reason than that. If that's your problem then who gives a fuck

10+ officers having no problem

yea

but that means 10+ officers are all discharging weapons

what happens when most hit

if they all shoot him at the same time it will somehow work out

it's fucking idiotic

this is in reply to alibaba

you can fire in sequence

yeah and in the heat of someone charging

you're gonna have everyone orderly?

yes, that is possible

Yeah let's make a firing squad in 5 seconds

lol dude, you live in fucking fantasy land

If that is taught to be the standard procedure then yes, they will be orderly

There's your problem

Shooting someone is not standard procedure

It shouldn't have to be

and again, I don't agree

Also very few British police carry guns
