Not to mention, shooting the hip is a fantastic way to sever the femoral artery or hit the aorta, both of which would be shortly fatal.

Well, I understand that a leg shot would be easy to miss, but what about the hip? It isn't that hard to miss unless that officer sucks at shooting a gun and it would being down the person for such. I mean, why don't they just of talked to him and then another officer for the behind jumps on him and arrests him. And, are you the person, that takes classes on how to shoot a gun and the changes of hitting the target or did you just Google some shit and found your answer there?

I refuse to force police officers, some of whom have wives and children, to risk their lives to save a suicidal loon trying to kill them.

I believe that the cops shouldn't aim to kill, but aim to harm. Which means shooting in the leg not at the head at the first shot, but we are talking about America here. Also, China is using this event to talk some sense to America, which is funny and China has good points

Officer Wilson had a broken eye socket. Meaning, his eye was fixed and unable to focus. Why do you think his aim was so horrendous? He had double vision as a result of a fixed eye. Even if by some miracle he hit Michael in the leg, Michael could still beat him in a fistfight. He's dizzy, seeing double, and has precious feet before this giant man is on him. If he doesn't act, he's going to die. Have you ever been in mortal danger?

Here we are on that "Chute 2 Wund!" kick again.

They waited until he was a few feet away and warned him of the consequences earlier. A leg shot is a harder shot to make and if they miss, they risk a ricochet along the ground, which is extremely dangerous. A center of mass shot would more likely hit and if it missed, travel in a predictable line to a wall. As for the number of times, probably multiple officers shot him.

I fully expect everyone who accused the officer, if that evidence is true, to apologize for denying the officer presumption of innocence.

See, you say that this isn't snark, and you use the guise of Bismarck in an attempt to qualify your statement (which is a weak attempt because you are implying that you completely understand and think just like Bismarck). However, the need to qualify any statement has significance. If your comment isn't supposed to be snarky, then why do you need to qualify it unless it is? Also, I'm getting pretty damn tired of your veiled threats and it's starting to feel like borderline harassment. Overall, the last comment that you made is completely unnecessary. Now, if you wanted to RP as Bismarck and say that, then there's the IC. This isn't the proper place to make a statement like that.

Damned if I do, damned if I don't. Leave off the qualifier, you say I'm being snarky. Add it, now it's evidence of snark.

These are not veiled threats. You'll forgive me if I assumed Japan wanted to emerge as an effective state rather than daimyos battling for dominance again, but I won't make that mistake anymore. No more speaking threats, just executing them

Please don't take this as snark, because it isn't. However, in Bismarck's mind, Japan's refusal to make an accurate assesment of the balance of power indicates that he should not let the Japanese retain a strong military lest they threaten German interests in the future.

Spoken like a true samurai. Fight to the bitter end rather than give minor concessions.

Well, a deal implies an agreement with mutual benefits. I didn't see much of a benefit from the "deal". So, yes. I am quite glad.

Right, now that Britain is involved, I am sure Japan will come out of the war much better,

I mean... it was more like just you and Boerd trying to convince me to agree with your offer to give up Goto and Hirado. I haven't been able to talk to thor.

Aren't you glad you turned down that deal?
