The question is why they are trained to shoot to kill.
Because they are also trained not to shoot unless they or somebody else is in danger.  Leg and "hand" shots are Hollywood (other than some extreme, Police Sniper type situations).  Cops are trained to stop the immidiate threat as quickly as possible.  Shooting somebody in the leg isn't going to do that.
