Rush Sounds the Alarm on The Democrat War on Policing
Apr 26, 2021
BRETT: Jerry in Binghamton, New York. Jerry, welcome to the show. What’s on your mind, sir?
CALLER: Well, I have a few problems with some of the people being interviewed on radio today saying that policemen should start shooting people in the leg or in the arm and just wounding them instead of, quote, “killing them.” Policemen, first of all, are not trained — and I speak because I’m a retired policeman.
BRETT: Thank you for your service.
‘CALLER: I speak with some authority. Policemen are not trained to wound. We’re trained to eliminate a threat. We’re not trained to wound. We’re not trained to kill. We’re trained to eliminate a threat. Point in fact is that if a person with a knife is standing 15 or more feet away from a policeman with his gun drawn aimed at the person, that policeman stands a better chance of being killed by that man charging him. Even though he shoots him, he’s still gonna get to him, and if he wants to, kill the policeman.
