Injuries caused by calibers typically used by the police (9mm and larger) will cause much more disruption to your life than could be "balanced" by a $70,000 payment. I wouldn't advise anyone to take that bet in a million years. Getting shot as an innocent bystander in the course of police business is a terrible thing.
From what we can understand, the following people were also in very grave danger at the time of this shooting:
I'm a huge supporter of the police having come from a family with plenty of people on the job. The decision to shoot sounds a bit rash and the compensation to the victim seems a bit low for the radical changes in this person's life.

True justice does not have a profit margin. Our legal lotto system is a very recent perversion, the work of evil Democrats funded by evil lawyers. By current standards, the injured party did not get his lotto payout, nor did his lawyer, but he was compensated fairly and justice was served.
