I know people immediately see the age and think the cops were using excessive force, but I have seen plenty of strong elderly people. A nurse in one hospital I worked in had her jaw broken by a nice 70+ year old.
Well guys, I'm not completely sure you are wrong.............but, as I said earlier, I'd have put my old man up against most young guys when he was 70...........
Secondly, a stun gun is not lethal force.......I'd rather be shot with a Taser than hammered with clubs.
My people don't carry Tasers, batons, or pepper-spray. If they are in immediate danger of death OR grievous bodily harm, they SHOOT you. Some one attacking you with ANY weapon satisfies that prerequisite. That is what I teach them in a course approved by government.
Two of them that are trained in bodily take-down as well as more heavily armed? I wouldn't bet on him.
Did they even ask the guy if he had ticker problems? Or a pacemaker? IOW, a stun gun or taser can be deadly.
Shooting doesn't necessarily involve killing. I prefer the disabling bit. I've had 3 mugging attempts on me and one with a weapon, all 3 are still alive and kickin as far as I know and I kept all my stuff.
Here's the man;
He was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. deadly weapon...hellooooo.
Only in the U.S.
Professionals shoot centre of visible mass......ALWAYS. That means centre of the torso, if you are completely visible, between the eyes if all I can see is your head. NEVER shoot to wound.
Thank for your confirmation that PROFESSIONALS ( like you qualify them) will always try to maximize the damages.
Shoot to kill. I'm not impressed by your professionalism
Neither would I.
True enough, but so can a baton.

Not what you said a while ago.
Not very likely when you are using it to parry a cane or separate someone from their cane. Either way, that's irrelevant. You said a stun gun isn't deadly. You were wrong.
Pros like SAS or Seals? Funny I always thought they were the headshot type. A cousin of mine was a SF sniper in Viet Nam: never went for the body. Body shots are for the panic-stricken sort who isn't sure of the target nor their ability.

I never said a stun gun could not kill, I said the use of one is considered non-lethal force. Ditto for a baton. Matter of preference.
Pros like the SAS or snipers do NOTHING but train, are NOT acting in self-defense, and are using long guns, not pistols (usually) A BIG difference..........apples and oranges.
What you said was "Secondly, a stun gun is not lethal force". You were wrong. It may not be considered lethal, but considerations can be wrong.
You're saying they don't know how to use sidearms for headshots? rofl General snipers may be inefficient with short barreled weapons, but I wouldn't pit my armored-car guard against an SAS or Seal with sidearms if I were you, they'd end up with a couple 9mm in their noggins.
As well, YOU take on any of my boys and restrict yourself to only head shots.........where do you wish to be buried?
BTW, we do teach head shots.....but only on the third round after two shots to the torso show no reaction. Increasingly, crooks wear body armour.
