Most police officers only qualify with their weapon annually. Many of them only practice before annual qualification so as to be able to pass. Most police departments do require officers to practice due to budget restraints. No money for ammo and wages for the time training.
Do you know how hard it is to "wound" someone especially if they are moving? You know that if you hit a person in the femoral artery in the leg they will bleed out in a matter of minutes so how is a cop supposed to miss the artery? A wounded armed criminal can still kill you, that is why police are trained to shoot until the threat is ended.
It's real simple and even a caveman can understand, comply with the police's orders and you won't get shot.
