Having had many friends who are cops, they're not trained that way. You aim at the largest mass available, period. They're not trained to shoot legs or the gun out of someone's hands like the movies. The first motivation is protection via incapacitation.
I do think a set up like Adam Corrolla's shotgun recipe would work for cops off duty:
First round is a blank, second rubber, third a salt pellet round, and lethal rounds after that. If you can't scare or stop them with multiple levels of non lethal shots, save your life.
This entire incident is just so sad in how pointless it was.
