Can't police get better training to deescalate situations/disarm folks instead of just shooting as their go-to method? Also need MH training

I realize that police officers have families who love them, also, but if they are well trained then they will likely be in less dangerous

If you have to shoot, why not in the leg ?
-
Because that's almost impossible. Try hitting just a leg, its really really hard. You are taught to shoot center mass, or largest target

Not enough info for me to have that strong of an opinion in this specific case But why so many shoot to kill
-
Shoot the arm holding the knife or something if need be. Especially if not an immediate threat to anyone (i.e. physically holding a hostage)

A) maybe I could with solid training but B) even ignoring that, seems like cops are too quick to resort to -shoot to kill- these days
