Heads shots usually do the trick, kills the brain.
I think too many have been trained to “wound” and yes I am glad police are trained in that matter, but what choices do you have in split seconds and the bad guy is wearing body armor, your weapon is not a ballistically efficient anti-armor round, I hope she did give him a head tap, “just to be sure”.
Yeah, if you're a SWAT sharpshooter, or you're up close and personal. The torso is a far larger target. In the heat of the moment, most shots miss even big targets -- focusing on smaller targets isn't a good idea.

You think wrong. Standard POST protocol is to aim at the center of mass. Knock the perp down. Whether he lives or dies is a concern for later. Shoot to stop.
