Just a quick thing, I'd like to see where the European police officers are taught or encouraged to shoot people in the leg or arm. Frankly pistols are not the most accurate things and there's a reason why people are trained to shoot to center mass.
Also in terms of sending in paramedics or social workers or whatever, the primary duty of the police is going to have to make sure its a safe environment, so in this case, and I would probably want to see a proper investigate, they talked about sending in paramedics and it not being safe.
Even if we change the process, its unlikely that a social worker is going to be sent into any situation without any kind of police escort, or a ensuring that the environment is safe before a health care worker is allowed anywhere near the situation.
