PLEASE tell me what situation requires shooting at the legs first when the COM target is available.

Groan! I never said when the LUXURY accomodation of target acquisition/availabilty. Sometimes any shooting is better than no shooting.

But here you go, just to satiate your quibbling:

Below is your original post. It clearly says to start low (leg region) and end with center of mass. In the referenced shooting we know the COM was available to there is no wiggle room in your original post.

An additional scenario is that LEO “ran the ladder” on the perp to “stop” him; starting low (leg region) and ending at center mass.
