Joe Biden can best capitalize on the rioting following the death of George Floyd in the same way he can best capitalize on anything in 2020: by keeping quiet and out of sight. Unfortunately for Biden, he does occasionally show up and say things. And then this happens: He suggests that police should be trained that, if cops rushed by unarmed person, they could “shoot them in the leg instead of the heart is a very different thing.” |

"if cops rushed by unarmed person,"
Excuse me? You missed part of that quote:"if cops are rushed by an unarmed person WITH A KNIFE"
Did anyone ask Mr. Senility how someone with a knife can be unarmed? |

Biden is a horse's ass.
Anyone that believes this senile fool is qualified to be president is delusional. |

The author egregiously misstates the issue.
"Shoot to kill" vs "shoot to wound" is a dangerous amateurish construct that posits bogus alternatives, and it remains maddeningly popular among the uninitiated.
We shoot to STOP. We keep shooting until the threat stops. Whether or not the attacker is killed is not in the calculus - center-of-mass placement is optimum for stopping an attacker, and if one has no choice but to shoot, it means that there isn't time to contemplate which body part would be 'safest' to preserve the attacker's life, even assuming that hitting that part is within the skill set of the defender under extreme duress.
"Detached reflection cannot be demanded in the presence of an uplifted knife." - Oliver Wendell Holmes |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
