Why do police shoot to kill?

[Robintheboywonder]

Why don't police officers shoot to wound?

Why do officers fire so many shots?

Why don't officers pause while shooting to reassess the threat?

Why don't police use Tasers instead?

Who has the answers?.

Police are trained to shoot center mass............It is the widest target and has the best chance of stopping them.

They do not shoot to kill.


Myself I assume body armor and that protects the center mass.
I would not shoot center mass.
