A couple of police action shootings last few days here on the Bay Area
This one justified
This one NOT
Guy with a bat creating trouble at Walmart
Police claim they tased him to no effect
But one officer shot him dead with one shot and after the guy dropped the bat and was walking away
This incident can possibly bring out Oakland riots again
Fuzz killing black man without justified reason
Why didnāt he shoot him in the leg if he had to shoot
Sometimes leg shots are less safe to bystanders as they can miss easily hit the ground and rebound, hit a bystander , or go straight through and hit simeone else. Center of mass is usually the best bet or donāt shoot. JMHO
Shooting in the leg doesnāt mean you wonāt die. Hit the femoral artery and you bleed out in less than a minute.
But cops need much more training on the use of force. They escalate things too readily. Basically shoot first ask questions later. Unfortunately the department, police union, even society tolerate it too much and donāt hold officers accountable.
