The Columbus police chief held a press conference the other day concerning the shooting death of 16-year-old Ma’Khia Bryant, and reporters asked why police couldn’t be trained to shoot violent people in the leg. This comes straight from the top: Last June, candidate Joe Biden said he wanted police to shoot an “unarmed person coming at ’em with a knife” in the leg, a sentiment he repeated during an ABC News town hall in October.
The ladies on “The View” tackled the Bryant shooting, and Joy Behar said she’d watched the video several times and just couldn’t figure it out — couldn’t the police just shoot into the air?

The National Fraternal Order of Police tried to give Behar an education on policing in violent situations:
.@joyvbehar, if you’re going to comment on police matters, have the decency to educate yourself first. You owe it to your viewers. Warning shots are prohibited by every agency in this country. Also, you might want to take a physics lesson… what goes up, must come down. https://t.co/8yBmBBuVPq

In fairness to @JoyVBehar… she's an idiot and if she educated herself before speaking, she'd have literally nothing to say. https://t.co/pns2SJ5MpV

These are the kind of delusional people polluting the minds of the masses on a daily basis. All these so called “news” stations and talk shows are full of people talking about topics they have no education of.

Everyone's an armchair expert or critic.

She comes from the Joe Biden school of self defense. https://t.co/whveREdx78

A bunch of bleeding heart liberals commenting on something they know nothing about. When was the last time you commented in support of a police officer that was shot and killed while trying to do his job. You're digusting.

You know what's wrong, Joy? A 16-year-old kid trying to kill another kid with a knife in front of police and other adults. THAT is what's wrong. But you won't talk about that, will you? You are a vacuous bag of hair.

If @JoyVBehar is ever attacked, I guess she wants the police to fire warning shots, not stop the attack. ?♀️

I am glad you are speaking out. Thank you.

Go after Juan Williams, too. He suggested the same thing. LOL

It seems like everybody in the media needs to go on a ride-along for a day.
