There should be no difference. You avoid pulling the trigger until there is no other choice, then you pull the trigger with the intention of incapacitating the BG. If he lives, great, throw him on the stand and then send him to jail. If he dies, the situation dictated that guns were the only remaining option to protect the officers and bystanders. The only reason any of that wouldn't be true is if police shot an unarmed man. NYPD = "shoot to miss" and hope the bad guy gives up, thinking they're actually trying to hit him. If they bad guy knows he's only being shot AT, not being SHOT, he'll just keep running until the cops are out of bullets."Shoot to Stop" vs shooting to kill or wound, etc.
