Shoot to wound/disarm is a TV/movie trope.
Aim center mass & shoot to kill. Otherwise, don't shoot.
Nonsense. There's a time for lethal force, and that time is VERY rare compared to how often it's used by present day police. My town's police hadn't discharged a firearm in over a decade, but a recent incident resulted in an officer shooting someone... in the leg. TWICE. AFTER he was fired upon. It's training. Current Occupying Force Police training is 'shoot to kill if you FEEL threatened'.
Smaller towns don't train like that.
