I actually don't think Bfine "had his back" here.

He just saw some of those SSF posts "refuting" policy based leg shots. Genuinely puzzled, he tossed in his two cents on the subject of torso vs leg shots. He agrees leg shots are less lethal. And he didn't add "only slightly."

Really only five points to be made at this stage, regarding the debate over US police reform.

1. everyone agrees larger targets are easier to hit than smaller.

2. everyone agrees "center mass" shots are more likely to be lethal than leg shots.

3. everyone agrees rifles are deadlier than handguns.

4. Though without advocates, policy based on leg shots will continue to be "refuted" in various permutations.

5. Despite 4, people debating should track back to the issue of police accountability, especially involving the death of unarmed and/fleeing suspects.
