      Targeting center mass is what is typically practiced for. Not offering defense for the cops, just saying that if you practice shooting people the torso is where you aim.

        Oh I’m well aware, what I meant was they actually hit her heart itself, like the bean-bag rounds are so useless that it just didn’t matter that they’re “less than lethal”

          'less than lethal ’ is a disingenuous description even when everything is done and goes right. Just another way for cops to try to normalize shooting us. Kinda like the rubber bullets that aren’t supposed to be fired directly at people, but there are all too many reports of people taking direct shots to the eyes being blinded at best, killed at worst. Pig violence is out of control worldwide.
