Ripped from another board.
Carson: Cops Could Be Trained to Shoot For The Legs
on Breitbart TV
26 Nov 2014 Dr. Ben Carson, author of "One Nation: What We Can All Do to Save America's Future," argued that while Officer Darren Wilson did nothing wrong in the fatal shooting of Michael Brown, police should be better trained in non-lethal force such as shooting aggressors in the legs on Tuesday's "Hugh Hewitt Show."
"First of all, I don�t think that the police officer did anything wrong. Nevertheless, there are probably additional techniques and knowledge that he could have been given. So all along, we probably need to beef up the instructions for police officers in general so that they don�t place themselves in such dangerous situations" he stated.

Sounds like he has watched too many Hollywood westerns. An incredibly stupid remark.

If Wilson did nothing wrong, why the push for "training". It would seem to me that it would not be needed. Criminals should be aware that once deadly force has to be used, there is a good chance they will be on the short end of the stick. How about that?

A surgeon with few good and bad ideas does not a leader make.

folks that haven't shot much or been trained in the shooting discipline often have misguided ideas.
doubt there's many on this board that could give us a good idea how to do the surgeries he performed
none of us are experts at everything, the man seems capable of learning to me and from what I can glean his heart's in the right place.
he's just had a very different background and upbringing than most of us that frequent here. How many of you jabronis voted for Mitt? ( I know I did) of bunny hunting fame?

One would think they would get educated on a variety of topics prior to announcing a run for president. I don't want a president that has to learn the basics on the job or you wind up with another Obama.

I will only vote for white guys for president. They aren't the smartest guys around but they have every other race beat hands down.

Acts a bit power hungry. As far as shootin perps, center mass works well. For whatever reason people think it is a requirement to elect a black president, you need to pinch yourself and wake up. Geo

I don't, and won't, vote on race/color. I'll vote for the one that EARNS my vote, and it's been a damned long time since any candidate did that (though, one Congressional candidate did just that this year).
America needs to understand that our troops are not 'disposable'. Each represents a family; Fathers, Mothers, Sons, Daughters, Cousins, Uncles, Aunts... Our Citizens are our most valuable treasure; we waste far too many.

Dr. Carson does not appear to be as much of an expert on law enforcement or firearms as he is on pediatric neurosurgery. I can forgive him for that. I'll bet he recognizes that fact as well. The nice part is, I can ignore his race and still believe he is qualified to be president. There are a couple of others I think I could vote for as well. Wether or not they get the nomination is a long way off.

Apparently Ben doesn't realize Brown was a gentle giant. The officer was never in any danger.

I'm not gonna google it but IIRC, the perp (can't remember his name either, don't make it a habit of remembering trash)
got hit in the hand or arm or something before the fatal wound
so looks like Wilson did as directed BC, so on to plan B

Good point. I believe he did have a very close range wound to the hand suggesting a struggle for the gun. I think the gentle giant had several opportunities to avoid the ultimate outcome.
