The problem people have with the police these days is that they shoot to kill many a time. They have or carry guns. Nobody expects them not to shoot when they feel threatened.
But how should they shoot/ First of all, the police officers are not paid to kill criminals. They are supposed to immobilize criminals using the least possible force needed in the situation and also as the situation warrants. They can -
1. Shoot into the air to scare suspects into right behavior.
2. Shoot the leg.
3. Shoot the hand.
4. Not shoot at the heart.
5. Not shoot at the spine.
6. Not more than 2 shots in the upper torso.
7. Not shoot at the head.
8. Immediately call for paramedics if they have to shoot a suspect.
