Exactly.
Trust, there would be more criticisms of law enforcement if they were trained to do the things depicted by Hollywood. More people would accuse them of unlawful and unnecessary use of force and firearms if they could shoot people in the leg. Instead, we want officers to remain well-trained and selective in their use of a firearm; and we want that use of a firearm to be precisely for its intended purpose.
