Yes, he really said that.
Biden Proposes Training Cops to Shoot Attackers in the Leg to Reduce Fatalities https://news.yahoo.com/biden-propose...wer&soc_trk=ma
This goes to show what a dummy Biden really is. Police Officer carry a sidearm strictly for a deadly force encounter, ..... Originally Posted by Levianon17With all due respect ...

Sec. 9.01. DEFINITIONS. In this chapter:Officers draw (brandish) their duty weapon many times without the "intent" of discharging the weapon, but as a show of force to neutralize the situation. The force continuum is a sliding scale that escalates from mere presence to applying deadly force. In between the officer can draw his weapon to increase the threat to get compliance. It doesn't mean he/she will fire the weapon just because they draw it.
(3) "Deadly force" means force that is intended or known by the actor to cause, or in the manner of its use or intended use is capable of causing, death or serious bodily injury.
With all due respect ... "a sidearm" is used to demonstrate A THREAT of force to get compliance ... in the "force continuum"! It is not "strictly for a deadly force encounter"!Yeah, I realize Officers draw down on suspects. But Officers don't ordinarily discharge their weapon for the sole intentions of wounding suspects, that's why they are issued secondary weapons such as Batons and Tasers ect.
Here's a start:
