This is an almighty bl**dy mess to be sure. Although he didn't die, Steven Waldorf has something very similar happen to him. the result then was a huge tightening of authority levels and training. However, because of the proliferation in gun crime, that tightening has been uncontainable in the last ten years and a much more pragmatic approach necessary.
What has to change is the publics attitude towards the police. If a police officer says, in today's climate, "Stand Still!" the best option is to do so.
