In the leg:
Best comment: "Even better yet, shoot the gun/knife out of their hands. Then spin their guns, blow smoke off the barrel, put it in their holster and calmly cuff the bad guy. So easy."

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

In Britain, most police officers disarm dangerous criminals with a sarcastic remark.

Try that on MLK Boulevard in the Big Easy, pasty boy.

That's beyond stupid.

Americans don't really understand sarcasm, so I'd be wasting both my time and theirs.

Oh no, they wouldn't be wasting their time. And they are very good at what they do.

If an officer's life is actually threatened, hitting the suspect in the leg is no guarantee the threat will be neutralized. People who have been hit in the leg or arm are not immediately incapacitated, which is why the police keep firing until a suspect is down. Real life is not like an episode of 24, or a Mission: Impossible movie!
It's true that some police officers are too eager to fire their weapons in the first place, and idiotic police tacticsâlike no-knock raidsâplace them in situations where overreactions are likely to occur. But the public policy intervention needs to occur before the shooting starts. Shooting to wound is not a realistic tactic in the vast majority of cases, and it's embarrassing that Biden doesn't know this.

How many guys have you seen with multiple GSW's, that were perfectly capable of bashing your head in?
You negate the threat. That means you shoot it until quits attacking. Sometimes that takes one shot. Sometimes it takes a lot more.
The other problem is that it is very hard to keep a calm demeanor, once you decide to pull a trigger. The adrenaline dump is massive.

There were three calls to that address on the day of the shooting. There had been over thirty calls in the last couple of years.
The guy was on lithium therapy. Need I say more?
Crazy man with knife. Cops backing up and screaming at him to put the weapon down.
The only point of debate, is whether the Philly cops had tazers. Not all of the department does.

Tasers are "close-in" weapons. Sometimes effective, sometimes not. If someone's wearing layers of clothes, they're marginally effective.
So a guy rushes you with a knife and you hope that your Taser will stop him.
OK.
