Hello everyone and welcome back. In this episode Patrick talks about use of force encounters where officers unfortunately have to use their firearms. Questions sometimes arise on why the officer aims center mass, and why can't the officer just shoot to wound? Or shoot the weapon out of the hands of the bad buy. A lot of what people know about these types of encounters they learn from television and the movies.
