Need to know a bit more about this, but right now I have to ask why tasers were not deployed on the
Monash today.
Its very strange that a bean bag round was deployed, yet no tasers. I can only imagine that the police, because of the proximity of civilian vehicles, were way to close to this disturbed individual, meaning when he did move on them with a knife they had to use lethal force.
Much prefer that tasers were used, or in the least the police had tried to disable his legs, not his chest.
Are they trained this way? If not, why not?
If it gets to the point where a firearm is used, you shoot to 'centre of body mass'. There is no aiming for the big toe or other such fanciful stuff. The idea is to stop the threat and the greatest chance of that is to hit the largest part of the threat in front of you. The justification of using that firearm is another conversation.
