Cops should be on trial for murder.

This one is pretty clean cut, IMO.

just out of curiosity, can anyone dig up a story where the cops shot someone in the leg? cuz off the top of my head i can't remember ever hearing of such a case

I'm sure it's happened, but I wonder how rare it is


To the best of my knowledge, regular cops are specifically trained not to target the limbs and to go for the torso instead.

The rationale behind this is that a cop should not resort to using his gun unless there is imminent danger for himself or third parties; meaning that stopping the perpetrator has priority. Targetting the body maximizes the likelihood of achieving this, while a hit to the limbs is more unreliable in this regard. Additionally, targetting the limbs is a lot more difficult and comes with a far greater risk of missing. Particularly in the heat of the moment, against a moving target, and when you have cops with insufficient training.

Alright councillor, feel free to explain. LOL.

Cops are are trial for absolutely nothing, you are clueless.

Interesting. By those guidelines, what is the standard for using a tazer?

Shooting at limbs and using a tazer both seem to be comparable (unreliable, yet non-lethal)

It's almost as if the BLM movement has a core of radicals who only use racial justice as a veneer to act out their violent tendencies and gain mainstream support for their neo-marxist ideology.

violence comes in many forms, some of which you uncritically cheer for, while condemning others without even asking yourself where thy might come from (while implying whatever fits your own political narrative)...
