Imagine this scenario and the can of worms it would open "I shot to disable but slightly missed and killed him" Now you have an officer who might not have shot to kill but shot to wound and missed?

The old rules are the best, don't point at anything you don't intend to shoot and don't touch the trigger unless you are going to kill.
