In my Law Enforcement Administration class, we discussed exactly this issue. Law enforcement officers of all types (federal, state, local, military) are trained to shoot to
kill. If it gets to the situation whey they draw their firearm, they intend to use it to kill someone. They are not trained to shoot to wound, trained to shoot guns out of people's hands, or anything else.
