        While they're shooting to "Disarm" they get shot and killed...very good logic 🙄.

        Thanks for response! We always appreciate folks engaging. Just FYI, the cop was not shot at in this case. Not even attacked.

        Thanks for the response. Just FYI: your ignorance is astounding. Shooting to "disarm" is not realistic. You watch too much TV

        I challenge anyone to shoot to disarm when under pressure and breathing hard. All in a snap second

        Shoot to disarm is not a reality-based notion.

        It is sad, but these requests are unreasonable. Shooting at a moving target in a stress situation is not easy!
