1) They are trying to secure the scene
2) Adrenaline rush = not exactly attentive to injured suspect, can result in ignoring the harm
3) It is one more thing they have to do
4) Most of the time, they'd have to work on gunshot wounds; that is not standard First Aid and requires speciality training (which is easy to forget if you don't do it all the time)
5) Lots of officers get First Aid training once, with few repeats
6) It's not policy
7) They don't have the proper equipment (esp. for gunshot wounds)
