Now ask yourself, what do police say to each other in private regarding wounding a civilian versus killing a civilian?

I guarantee that what they don't say is "Hey, sure every guy you shoot that survives is going to sue the shit out of you and maybe have you thrown off the force. But you should still only shoot him as few times as necessary to just disable him, because that is the morally correct course of action."
