What is the fuck ?
Police are trained to shoot to stop. This means they aim for the chest. Shooting a moving target is hard, to begin with, shooting a leg or arm is incredibly difficult and the bullet can fly anywhere. Not to mention, shooting a leg or arm may not stop them. If they have a weapon and you shoot them in the leg, they can still use that weapon to hurt someone. If you hit them in the chest they are going down.
