     Stupidity is an international problem,
and now appears to be the policy of the Chinese police.

Excerpts:
"Before [Chinese Police] can take aim at a suspect,
police are required by law to identify themselves,
issue verbal warnings and shoot into the air.
If they do fire at a person,
they are supposed to aim for non-vital body parts."
"Officers were required to fire off six bullets
within three seconds."
"We stress rapid firing, as an officer must draw
the gun and shoot the first bullet within 1.2 seconds,
and the officer must hit the target with the first shot ..."
------------------------------------------------------
     As was explained in a previous email,
never fire a warning shot, never shoot to wound.
     The commonly accepted standard in the United States
for presentation from the holster to the target is
1.5 seconds (for a trained individual).  Think
about what it means to impose a 1.2 second standard
on the police recruit in training.

Cheers,
Jon
