This is the problem with our society, this stems from long term mentality of presumption of guilt, fear the worst.
And even with the other shooting in that same city caught on video, while you could claim that guy had a knife, he was around several civilians prior to the cops showing up and they didn't seem that concerned. So the presence of cops alone causes tension. And you also have to take into account how many other people caught on video with weapons that get confronted that do not end up dead. So funding would also cause a cop not to have any other option.
