It's another case in which the prevalence of guns affects police procedures, so that they are advised to shoot first and argue later.
If you live in a high crime neighbourhood, which means there's a high likelihood you are poor and black, you are at risk of being killed in consequence of these procedures.
It's the second amendment problem over and over. It encourages absolute stances over gun ownership where nuance would allow a spectrum of solutions depending on location, uses, needs, capabilities, age, type of weapon and so on.
For myself, I think things work better when there's a broad exclusion on gun ownership, but individuals may apply for exemptions from the rule. Nonetheless, getting from A to B in the US would be a huge issue.
