Sounds great on paper. But police don’t take turns shooting criminals and when their life and the lives of others are at risk then they are properly trained to shoot to kill. Shooting someone in leg isn’t always going to stop someone from killing people. Maybe in a video game, but not in real life.

I wouldn’t be surprised if “shoot to maim if no firearm is visible” starts to become a thing soon.

Good man.

I watched an F1 race, 7 NFL games and the US Open.
it is too early in the season for me to really get into football. I hate wasting a day inside watching a game when I can be outside enjoying beautiful weather.

Except we had air quality advisories from the fires south of the border. Still do.
