Maybe thats just a bad aim cop, maybe the situation was so intense that it affected him, who knows.. but there are several videos out there that prove its not exactly easy in the heat of the moment to get the target in 1 shot.

Bring-back-shantz bought up an excellent point. If you have to pull out your weapon you shoot to kill, not shoot to wound. You aim for the biggest body part, and drill it. Because a wounded person is still a massive threat.
When the British police mistakenly shot that kid in the subway a couple of years they had to head shoot him because they believed that he was carrying a bomb and was holding a trigger, so you cause instant death by obliterating the brain stem.
