Getting in a shoot out on a congested downtown street sounds like a bad idea. Sometimes reacting without thinking is a bad idea. Unless the man was actively shooting at civvies, the cops should have taken cover and cleared the streets before engaging the gunman. Just my opinion based on the story so far, reserve the right to change it based on new evidence.
I don’t blame the cops for bad shooting in a crisis situation, just bad judgement.

The cops used fine judgment. The should have immediately shot him. The problem is that they use a very poor style of bullet, and have horrendous marksmanship.
Lawsuits are used to correct such goings on.
