No, it should be shooting in the knees or fleshy part of the thigh, etc.

Who the **** trains to shoot people in the back, when trying to subdue/disarm/de-escalate/etc.? Easy; a system that doesn't know how to properly train their law enforcement.

Joseph Forcillo (a former Toronto Cop that is good friends with one of my former bosses) told a deranged/possibly high/possibly mentally-not-there teen/young adult with a knife, in 2015, to drop the knife. He didn't, made a move towards Forcillo and he shot him 3 or 5 times in the torso/body (this all happened at night, on a Streetcar, btw).

The bullshit of the Canadian Court System, btw: the kid died, but Forcillo wasn't convicted of murder. He WAS convicted of Attempted Murder though (which makes no damn sense), mainly due to the fact that he abandoned his training and shot off script.

He was charged and convicted because he didn't shoot to incapacitate, he shot to kill and why is that? Because Toronto Police is trained to shoot to maim/incapacitate, rather than kill someone.

I promise you, if Blake was shot in the knees/legs/ass, he would've dropped immediately and he would've been released from hospital by now. The cop would NOT have been raked over the coals (as much, anyways) and then Blake would have his day in court with 2/3 shots in parts of his body that aren't around vital organs, instead of having 7 holes in his back that possibly could've killed him and him being in hospital still, his day in court delayed, etc. etc..

If you ABSOLUTELY need to use your gun, it shouldn't be to kill.
