ELI5:Why aren't cops trained to shoot the leg or a non fatal area? These seem to always go for kill shots.

Shooting is hard. Even a well trained marksman still won't be able to hit a moving leg most of the time. If you're shooting someone, you better be prepared to kill them because while most bullets aren't fatal even if they aren't in the leg, it's basically impossible to choose whether your shot will kill or not. And if you're planning on shooting someone, you'll have the best chance of hitting if you shoot towards the bigger target- their chest.
