Not this simple. The military exemple means that a superior of the police officer asked him to shoot someone which is not the case. When militaries do collateral damage, they are rarely held accountable for it. As I said, not that simple as you make it out to be, as usual.

He wasn't "running amok". He was on his front porch and his mother was with him. The cops had been to the house three times previously:
Three times and they laughed and still didn't think to grab one of the officers with a TASER to come along with them for this ride? No. Fuck them and fuck you for trivializing this shit.Police said Walter Wallace Jr., 27, was wielding a knife and ignored orders to drop the weapon before officers fired shots Monday afternoon. But his parents said Tuesday night that officers knew their son was in a mental health crisis because they had been to the family’s house three times on Monday.
Cathy Wallace, his mother, said one of the times, “they stood there and laughed at us.”
If police resources are so stretched that they can't give everyone a TASER than they had better fucking ensure that at least one officer responding to calls like this has one. They don't say that nobody in the department has one, so obviously there were some available they could have assigned to this.
There was no assault, and thus no "assailant".
The public safety was destroyed, because officers killed a member of the public.
There was no law being broken. Wallace's brother is the one who called 911, and he called for medical assistance and an ambulance, not police response because of any supposed crime.
You're straight-up lying about the facts of the case.
Literally 5 seconds youtube search:

Trick is you have to include "UK" or another developed country name in your search.
I've probably saved more lives FROM law enforcement types like you than you have saved.
But go on, continue to try and appeal to authority. I feel confident in the reasonableness and rationality of my argument: that being mentally ill, and having a knife should not mean your death at the hands of state actors who are supposedly trained to de-escalate, and "protect and serve."
As people talk about us living in a society that doesn’t have racism as a systemic problem it is good to remember.
A white ex con is more likely to be hired than a black person without a record. A white person why a high school diploma is likely to make more than a black person with a bachelors.
How does running amok, threaten the neighborhood? Did I save innocent people by not drinking and driving? Give me a fucking medal...

That was a response to this:
In case that was obtuse... I was making the ol’... Super Heroes wearing masks... argument. Heroes don’t browbeat the public... heroes don’t brag about saving lives...
