I would like an answer as to why a law enforcement officer feels the need to shoot for center mass (chest) when a person is standing ten feet away with a pocket knife or no weapon. The same applies when a person is sitting in a car slowly moving or parked. If a person has no weapon or a table knife and is walking or running away, why shoot to kill?

If a real threat arises then center mass makes some sense for an actual defense. So many black people have been shot by ten to twenty bullets from ten feet! Why not take out a leg or two to stop the person? If they are in a car shoot out the tires and not spray the inside and hit little kids.

Training needs to be revised along with laws for cops that are overly cautious, overly excited, poorly trained, or just plain murderers. Has this only been a recent development — No! It has been around for decades and more prevelant with minority populations.

Too many well-meaning people criticize the police protest when they do their job of trying to arrest bad people, and just make matters worse. If the police get rid of the tiny number of bad cops, we have to allow the rest to do their jobs with the training and tools they are given.
