Sadly training doesn't give guarantee's for safety. If it did, you would never have soldiers dying, or cops getting shot.

These things happen more to the inexperienced then the experienced, and sadly you rarely get a chance to correct those mistakes.

The other worrisome thing is that the police in this day and age are going to have to lose their sense of any kind of trust, which is going to lead to even more suspects claiming police brutality.

traffic cops are going to have to approach every pulled over car with non lethal or even lethal weapons pointed at the driver. Cops are going to start unstrapping their revolver housings and dis-engaging their safeties before they enter any houses. And if someone resists arrest or does anything that looks threatening they're either going to get shot, or tazered or pepersprayed or shot with a bean bag traveling at a thousand feet per second.

Because at the end of the day the police are really going to have to start measuring their safety against the lives of a suspect.
