Do cops in America not have tasers, or know how physically disarm someone, or even just shoot them in the leg instead of the head/chest?

Seems like every week there's a story like this, and as a non-American it's just baffling to me. Shooting with intent to kill should be an absolute last resort, especially when they are innocent bystanders at risk.

 

Only in films is shooting to disable a thing in real life aim at centre of mass. 

Maybe Police are always ready to shoot because of incidents like below (NSFW)
