Isn't this one of the main things that people are protesting about. Police shouldn't be trained like this. They could also carry things like tasers which allow them to protect themselves without killing anyone.

Correction: while minimizing the risk of death. Tasers can still kill people.

They certainly can. But they're a lot less likely to than a gun. I think their use would be justified in the case that a policeman was being shot at.
