My State Trooper nephew says he was trained to try and take down a suspect rather than kill him unless the suspect was armed and dangerous. I don’t know if that is uniform training or not.

The point is to STOP THE THREAT, the training is not to either kill or wound, necessarily. When I was young the training was aim to wound rather than to kill, however that was long ago. If you are focused on stopping the threat, you aim for the best way to do that with minimum collateral damage and loss.
