Proper training is the only long-term solution.
In Finland we train our police minimum 2,5 years.
In Missouri it's about 6 months.
Btw, I love the difference in the imagery they use over there and over here.

The pictures are from two different places, but they're all the pictures.
From the pictures you get the idea that pretty much the only basic requirement for a US police officer is that they know how to shoot.

Btw, notice how everyone is white. I guess you could argue that since Finland is 95% white this is not a big deal. But I'm pretty sure the Finnish police force isn't 50% female either. Still, not a huge complaint in my books.
However, in Missouri it kind of stands out that with 11% black population there's not a single black person in those pictures.
