Okay military/LEO guys I need you're help. I've gotten hounded by people on Twitter for saying LEOs/Mil guys are not trained to shoot to wound but to shoot to kill and keep shooting until the threat is ended? Is that not true? They are saying that firing until the threat is ended is bad training.

Remove "shoot to kill" in your Tweet and it's correct.

And those that say that firing until the threat has ended is bad training I'd politely tell to STFU unless they have been put in that position before and know how to engage a target to cease the activity which led them to shoot in the first place.

About 10 or more pages back it's been explained in full detail by those with LE/Mil experience.

He can correct me if I'm wrong, but I have yet to see any mention of it on the news.

I think his post was sarcastic.

ETA: Caught me typin and stuff.

Did he die?

Yes, the crowd also said he had a mental disorder...

Also the organizers have moved the protests to Clayton. The city is predominately white, upper middle-class city. No word yet if more protests will occur in Ferguson tonight or not.

Mental disorders seem to be the new excuse for criminals.

LG is dumb enough to think these "witness" statements are gonna be actual details instead of fabricated stories to fuel this bs even more.

The statements we were discussing -- had you bothered to pay the slightest bit of attention -- are reportedly favorable to the officer.

If the statements support the officer they're will be more protests & rioting. If they don't it will be the same.

Never was trained to "shoot to kill" was trained to send a 7.62 match ball down range center mass. What the result of that turns out to be is out of my hands. :)

What kind of rifle were you using? I figured you guys shot 5.56.

You mean 5.56? The only 7.62 I recall was an M60 & a 240.

* you caught it

Completely omitting the M14, XM21, M25, M24, M40...

And I thought you would have at least know (being in the Army and all) the M60 and M240 don't typically use match grade ammo as the load.

That's because I didn't include anything just stated the most common was 5.56 & the only thing I recalled using 7.62 was a couple machine guns. Lol nice try. I guess you forgot M16

Is there a set time the protests and possibility of looting begin? I'm trying to finish some yard work so I can come back to the thread at the appropriate time.
