They are also trained to use stun guns.. But they mostly like to get aggressive with women during traffic stops...

I don't know where you got this idea, but police are absolutely not trained to shoot to kill. They are trained to use all means possible to subdue someone before the last resort: a gun. If they have to use a gun, it's because their own lives are in serious danger. At that point, if you're dumb enough to provoke a cop to have to shoot you, then don't expect to be alive.

I think what you mean is why aren't officers trained to shoot to disarm. The reason is it's very difficult to hit a torso sized target under normal conditions from more than 75 feet, it's almost impossible to hit one when under stress, say someone shooting at you.
