âSir, drop the sword, drop the sword,â one officer yelled.
âDrop it, drop it,â another hollered.
Does the officer shoot or not? If an officer must shoot, is there a way to lessen the chance of death? These questions hung over the training that played out days ago at LaGrange Police Departmentâs gun range. But some version of these scenarios unfolds for real across America daily as police engage with individuals who are sometimes armed and erratic, posing a threat to officers or the public.
The training is part of a new program launched by the West Georgia agency meant to address some of these questions. The program, called âShoot to Incapacitate,â is challenging decades of police orthodoxy around use of deadly force. Instead of teaching officers to always aim for available center mass of the body â usually the chest, upper torso and head â the training is giving them another option if they must fire their weapons in the line of duty.
