>No, anon, they don't. Shooting someone in the leg is not a non lethal way to incapacitate someone.
Correct. It's a less-lethal method.
> If you shoot them and either shatter a bone or sever the femoral artery that cop better have a tourniquet or else the guy you d shot is gonna bleed out in a matter of minutes.
Of course they do. They are also trained in relevant first aid. Like I said, PROFESSIONAL police, unlike American mall cops know what they're doing. Shooting someone in the leg is a less lethal option to stopping them, as compared to magdumping center mass, where any actual incapacitation is either lethal or paralyzing. With a shot to the leg, you can stop someone from running away and they still have a relatively high chance of living a full life after.
>There are things you can't just train for.
I'm sorry to hear American police are mentally retarded and can't be taught basic skills like that.
>If you want to just incapacitate someone you don't shoot them. That's why there are tasers, batons, and just using your hands.
All of these have very limited range and reliability. A gunshot is far more reliable in incapacitating a suspect.
