Both Ramos and Compean testified they were shooting at “center mass” (center of the back) and shooting to kill...because that is Dept. policy.

Technically it's shoot to stop the threat not shoot to kill. Shooting to stop does not nessesarily include killing the suspect nor does it preclude it.

Shooting “to stop the threat” is a kind way of saying shooting to kill. If you do so and the target doesn't die, it's incidental.

The semantic gymnastics you all play astounds me. But all it does is point up the weakness of your arguments because that's all you got.
