So the way to deal with a suicidal man is to shoot him?
Sounds kinda counter-productive to me.
The suicidal man in question was outside, on the lawn, without a weapon. In the room of the shooting, there were only four children, a terrier, and the officer.

No, the officers have been trained when dealing with an emotionally upset person, you don't shoot HIM.
Instead, you shoot his dog and kid.
Hey, got pulled out of the donut shop and drove all the way out there... gotta shoot SOMETHING.

In this case, the “suicidal” man was standing outside unarmed when the Government Wealth Confiscator and Executioner was roaming around inside shooting things. What did this roid-raging moron think he was doing?
Cops do not protect citizens. They take statements and write reports after the crime. They draw chalk outlines around your body. Your own gun and your situational awareness is all that protects the citizen and it is a damn shame that your biggest threat during an attack is what the cops will think once you have ended the attack so they can start their statement-taking and report-writing.
It ends the suspense. Then its time to write and file the report. /S
Time was, police were peace officers, intent on keeping the peace. Today they are paramilitary soldiers who shoot first and ask questions when everyone is subdued.

No. Worse.

The man was outside. The children and dog were in the house where they supposedly would be safe.
