I have asked several Police Officers over the years " Why dont Police aim to immobilize instead of aiming for centre mass"? Ans - ' I am putting my life at risk when facing an armed ( Knife, club, Machete etc) wielding crim so I will shoot to kill. This is just a job and am going home to my family when I finish my shift'
I am sure that faced with the same situation - knife and bottle wielding nut job, the Police would have shot him and that would be that.

Were is the logic in this? You would have shot them after gaining the upper hand because the Police can or do? Well, you sure would suffer the consequences.
