...he shot without knowing what was behind the suspect.

A wall was behind the suspect. What was the cop supposed to do? Ask the suspect to wait while the cop ran inside to make sure no one was on the other side of the wall? On the other hand, it's why cops have tasers, but I don't know if a taser was used but not effective or if it was not used for some reason.

YES!

And, while doing that, change out his magazine for the one with frangible rounds, since (s)he already knew the perp wasn't wearing a vest or body armor. /sar

Why, you shoot him in the leg.
