It is this type of thing I am talking about. Mike McDaniel, takes it from here
Some stupidity never ends, as Cam Edwards at Bearing Arms, explains:
As you can imagine, the Washington Post absolutely love the idea put forth by LaGrange, Georgia police chief Louis Dekmar, though most law enforcement officers quoted by the paper take a dim view of Dekmar’s new tactic.
The chief’s ‘Shoot to Incapacitate’ program has drawn interest from academics who say it merits further study. In the national law enforcement community, however, it has elicited harsh, widespread criticism.
Other police leaders in Georgia found the idea so controversial that they made it a focus of their annual conference in August, flying in nine experts to discuss the pros and cons. One group’s executive director will soon release a position paper advising departments throughout the state not to follow Dekmar’s lead.
What this amounts to is shooting people more kindly and gently, shooting them just a little bit instead of a whole bunch. It’s essentially a pain compliance technique, hoping that if you shoot someone somewhere non-vital, it’s really going to hurt, and they won’t want to get hurt any more, so they’ll suddenly stop their murderous rage and/or overcome the drugs comprising 50% of their blood volume and instantly become calm, rational and obedient.
Go read it all. The stupidity here is astounding. Just another pipe dream that will lead to bad results all around.
