‘The View’ host on what police should do to stop would-be killers: “Shoot the gun in the air as a warning”

During the April 22nd broadcast of ABC’s “The View”, Joy Behar managed to offer her brand of world class advice on how police officers need to address armed suspects during rapidly evolving scenarios.

With little surprise, Behar did not disappoint by suggesting police officers can “shoot the gun in the air,” among other suggested less lethal approaches to armed suspects.

During the episode of “The View”, the show had replayed a clip from CNN that showed Don Lemon providing his commentary on the officer-involved shooting that happened in Columbus, Ohio.

During the CNN clip that was played on the show, Don Lemon stated that based upon the available bodycam footage, the officer was stuck in a situation where there was not much else other than to use deadly force:

“Base each incident on what we see. When I look at this video, I see police responding to a dangerous incident where someone is armed with a knife. Police walked up on a situation, and they need to figure out what is happening.”

“Other lives are in danger. If we’re going to discuss this case, we need to be honest and use our common sense. We cannot have a double standard. We have to acknowledge that police have jobs to do.”

Reacting to Lemon’s take on the investigation, show cohost Whoopi Goldberg asked Behar about a sidebar conversation she’d had with Don Lemon specifically about this case, with Behar saying the following:

This bitch never ceases to amaze me how stupid she is. Shooting in the air?! HELLO! She's never heard the phrase "what goes up MUST come down"? It may be tiny, but there's no way of knowing where it will land, and something that small on the way down can cause some serious damage if it hits someone. PLUS just because they shot in the air, doesn't mean it would stop the assailant...and so the opportunity to save a victim could be lost forever. Or the idiots that think you can shoot someone in the leg...PLEASE!

Got any cops here who'd like to weigh in on this stupidity?

Do those harpies ever talk about anything they have actual knowledge of? Any intelligent conversations from them whatsoever?

Crickets?

It is amazing, as in mind-boggling.

I'd like to see some form of self-policing and accountability brought back into society. This idea that someone else is responsible for your safety, health, etc. has gotten way out of hand. When natural consequences for actions becomes a reality again, people will put more thought into what might actually happen to them in various circumstances. They'd adjust themselves accordingly.

The terrifying part of this isn't what he did or didn't do. It's that his actions are in question at all.
That girl in pink was DOOMED. He saved her.

The only way you'd ever, ever get me to watch 'the view':

Sounds to me like Joy Behar believes that if someone shoots a gun into the air................that bullet just keeps on going all the way to the moon.

In reality, that bullet comes down to earth at some point and might very well hit some innocent person in a bad way. I have to wonder what Joy Behar uses for brains.
