Comment: Have you ever fired a weapon? Have you ever fired at a moving 'anything'? Do you have any idea how hard it is to hit a moving object the size of an orange from 40 feet away? Humans have 2 hands, and can use the other if one if injured by a bullet. Do you know that certain drugs can almost eliminate pain, so multiple bullet wounds in non-lethal areas are ignored? Are you aware that even someone wearing body armor can be knocked down or disabled if struck at center-of-mass, whereas a hit in arms or legs may just punch through with minimal effect?

Even in situations where you have a chance to shoot someone in, say, the foot, if they are armed and determined to kill someone else, they are still fully capable of doing so. A hole in their leg is not going to stop them. Or a hole in their arm. Police are trained to shoot until the THREAT is Stopped. That means center of mass. And that IS professional training.

Better training yes, but how about in community relations and respect for all?
