Not necessarily. Hit someone in right spot and they can bleed out in a very short period of time.
Here’s an example. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwOJ4AIa6w4&bpctr=1594402756 __________________________________ Charles Boening Network Manager 800-858-2399 | Office charl...@calore.net<mailto:charl...@calore.net> www.cot.net<http://www.cot.net/> | Find us on Facebook<https://www.facebook.com/pages/Cal-Ore/205066716227707> __________________________________ Cal-Ore | Local.

Is it deadly force to shoot them in the leg so they can’t keep running? Easier to recover from a leg wound than a shot to the heart.

I also believe the police, in general, have been given more slack than they should for quite some time. The issue is how to deal with this. I do not envy cops. I have a nephew who is a cop, and I worry about him all the time. One of the more recent cases was an individual who was resisting arrest. He grabbed, and fired a taser. As I understand it, most tasers are one-and-done. IOW, once the taser has been fired, the only "weapon" characteristics it has are as a thrown projectile. That individual was running away, and was shot in the back. Was that justified? I would have a hard time accepting that as a justified homicide. But that is only one example. With the proliferation of cameras everywhere, this sort of thing is going to come up more and more. bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 7/10/2020 9:32 AM, ch...@wbmfg.com<mailto:ch...@wbmfg.com> wrote: I am largely ignorant of the issues faced in world of law enforcement. And perhaps this is a broader philosophical question with no clear answers. A guy, alone at night, in a city, near the location of a reported armed robbery is confronted by cops, takes off running. He drops what appears to be a gun, picks it up and keeps running, should he be shot? I understand that he may take a hostage or start shooting or whatever. He may turn the gun on the cops. I remember old cop and robber movies when I was a kid where the cop would yell “stop or I’ll shoot”. We had the above situation happen here in Utah a while back. Cops were found to have done no wrong. People are understandably upset. A few years ago, a young man playing with a sword was stopped by cops, he took off running with the sword and they shot and killed him. I presume the same justifications apply. I wonder how often someone with a weapon does harm after evading the cops. I wonder how other countries confront the same problem. If a human gets scared and runs due to uncontrolled fear, should they be shot? I was only truly scared once in my life. Was in a bank robbery. I understand that your rational thinking goes out the window a bit when you are really scared. -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com<mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com<mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
