Re: Shooting at University of South Alabama.

[(Anonymous)]

Sounds like drugged person attacking a cop, which can result in excessive strength and brutality than a normal 18 140lbs person would exert.

The only thing I question, which is not something in this case in particular but in police and military practice in general, is why always shoot the chest/to kill? Why not shoot him in the leg or some other place that would hopefully subdue yet less likely to kill?

NA

Because aiming for center mass is the easiest target to hit when in a life threatening situation. Aiming for an arm or leg - especially when the person is moving rapidly and easily be a miss and who knows where that bullet might end up.

The torso is the easiest place to aim because it has the most surface area. Limbs make for thin, frequently moving targets.

if you're shooting, you should be shooting to kill

if you think they could have subdued the guy, you should be arguing that they shouldn't have shot him at all. if they're going to be shooting, they should be shooting to kill, first because that's what guns are for, and second because, practically speaking, it's incredibly hard to shoot someone in the leg IRL.

What everyone else said, and also shots to the limbs are actually more not less likely to be fatal.

Limbs are packed with blood vessels, bullets often 'skip' along bone (famous case of a cop here who was shot in the wrist at a ninety degree angle, and had the bullet come out his other armpit), and the torso actually has some dead space.
