This is the natural outgrowth of years of police training that their own personal safety is their first and overriding priority. Of course they waited until there was a minimal chance of their own death or injury.
The government doesn't give a shit when this same doctrine results in unarmed people being shot each year because cops "felt threatened". They only care here because of the huge embarrassment this created.
I pulled up a random study - apparently leftists will only do something rewarding if there is a low risk.
Conservatives will do something rewarding even if there is a high risk.
Left wing pussification is basically pervalent in a lot of governments now. Being safe has now taken priority over being FREE, and I imagine a lot of it has to do with society giving in by listening to the voices of some shrill harpies with victim complexes and also letting our gyoncentrism take over our reptilian brains instead of using logic and reason.

Extremely rare, also unarmed does not mean harmless. Qualified immunity should not exist as a defense though, since everyone should be accountable for their mistakes. The courts should take a look the circumstances on a case by case basis.
