I know that I'm saying for the guys who bring this up when someone is killed and want them to shoot to wound instead, you're pretty much expecting them to hit a moving limb.

That honestly is unrealistic. If I'm going to expect an officer to hit something it's going to be a torso. No matter my feelings on these police shootings, it only makes sense to shoot at a torso.

I guess the lyric to Clapton's/Marley's song don't really fit here then...

Deputy killed, 6 injured after shots fired in Denver suburb - CNN

Whenever I hear stories of cops or soldiers getting killed, I normally have ZERO sympathy. With all of the crooked cops and the war machine that is the military industrial complex, they usually have it coming.

County Sheriff's are the only "law enforcement" officers that are directly elected by the public, so they usually get a bit of a pass in my book [EDIT: not a pass to break the law, but more sympathy I mean]

There's over 1 million cops in the US. There's over 2 million serving in one of the US military arms.

I thought a$$hole of the year was all sewn up. Nope. You win. Hands down.

What an absolutely jerk thing to say.
