isn't death the ultimate act of immobilization?

They have a 2nd reflex circuit so when you go to grab the stingy thing stuck to your body - it completes a 3rd circuit and really zaps you.

Nope. You are 100% wrong.
No one trains to "immobilize." You train to shoot center of mass until the target is dead. Dead.
W/r to ammo, you're wrong too - unless you are talking about beanbag or (you have yet to see these but MAN are they sexxy) Tazer shotgun rounds.
|
No, I personally know quite a few police officers and they usually try to avoid shooting to kill. That's why they use 9mm and tasers. Are you referring to the military?

| | | | I think cops are even trained to shoot for center of mass. Now they can try to avoid killing but even a 9mm bullet will do a lot of damage. A lot of police are starting to use paintball type guns with CS powder to stop people.

Exactly. If you are trying to avoid killing the person, you do not use a firearm. That's why cops carry "non-lethal" weapons. No one, cop or otherwise, can guarantee that they will only wound someone with a firearm. It doesn't matter if it is a 9mm, 45cal, or even a 22cal. They are all deadly. Period.
This is off topic and we are derailing the thread. Let's stop now, and in the meantime, re-check your sources.

| | | | I doubt it would be that likely to happen to me in Australia. Most of the populace dont carry, and the cops are a lot less likely to draw on you in any case.
You may get the occasional knife pulled on you by some annoyed squatter or ganger, but I doubt you'd have someone pull out a gun. Having said that, maybe out in the country you'd get someone with a shottie or rifle but I think it's more a different culture here, aside from the shoot first, ask questions later...

Show me a police curriculum that includes "shoot to immobilize."
No police union in the US would allow that.
Tazer is one thing, but use of deadly force is another.

Fire back.
uh huh... empty the clip, reload and fire back. |

I understand what you're saying my friend; it doesn't make me fear you any less sometimes.

Maybe, but he's not the one who started shooting.
For the record given the right set of circumstances, I'd be tempted to do the same thing.

If someone started shooting at me on public property or a place that was not a domicile (house), I would send several 230 grain .45 caliber slugs back at them.
I can carry as Virginia has open carry allowed.

| | | | Where I live, in the middle of the boonies in Kentucky, everyone carries a gun, even the 90-year-old grandma is packing. And these ppl don't fuck around. One thing about rednecks, especially redneck cops, they really don't mess around when it comes to someone else's property. Just be careful, I really can't say what I would do if I ever get shot at, because when it happens you just react off instinct. But, being caught by the police on three occasions (and one of those times being caught by the heavily armed canine unit) I have found that it is always good to just sort of yell "I'm coming out and I am unarmed". Let's just hope this never happens to anyone.

Interestingly, in Australia police are trained to use firearms only as a last resort in the case where they are personally facing death, and then they're trained to shoot to kill. The thinking is that if there's time to aim for a limb instead, there's time to run or take other alternative action.
I have a feeling of deja vu... have I already posted that factoid?

That's in Detroit? I was reading comments on the video of people saying those were gang members, which would actually scare me more than any security guard.

seriously.
sounds crazy, no? nothing makes your life come into focus like being shot at it. The volume goes way up, your nervous system starts to jitter and jive as adrenaline lights the circuits up. You feel like you're having an orgasm and running a four minute mile all at the same time. You start to sweat, your asshole literally retracts into your body as the fear hits you. Fight or flight, you make a split second decision. The finality of that decision adds to the rush. Getting shot at is nothing like you see in the movies.
I get the feeling here that most of you folks are strangers to violence. NOTHING clarifies things like violence...

Well if I have to take my life into my own hands, I'd probably run since I am unarmed. I also would sh*t my pants at the same time from fear.
