Couldn't the police shoot the legs or the hand holding the weapon in less-threatening situations. Or is that more cruel than death?

Even a warning shot in the air is enough to calm certain situations. Or is there risk of shooting a plane, helicopter, falling bullet killing someone else?

Warning shots and attempts at non-lethal injuries escalate the encounter and are practically impossible under stress. That only works in Western movies.

Shooting anywhere can kill. They aim for center of mass because they are less likely to miss.
