You really need to give a link, because the posted article clearly states that the cop who shot this guy’s son is still on the force. It discusses another cop who committed suicide, but that’s essentially an aside.

I’m sure there are mercenary armies all over Africa who’d love to have their services.

Are they allowed to shoot if they fear for their life and think the perp has a gun? I see defense of that situation all the time on FR for homeowners...does it not extend to police?
