This looks toxic, by the way.

    At no point have I claimed that they’re instructed to do so. That’s just moving the goalposts.

      Police in Finland regularly stop suspects by shooting them into leg which according to many Americans is impossible due to how inaccurate pistols are. That apparently means the alternative is then to dump the entire mag into the torso.

      I’m reading that assertion as saying they’re doing it on purpose. perhaps there was some misunderstanding on my part.

        Well either they’re doing it on purpose or then they just are really bad at shooting and despite massive amount of training compared to american police they for some reason seem to keep hitting the extremities despite aiming for the torso. Watch this video for example. You can see the bullets hitting the ground because the police was intentionally aiming for the legs.
