TopicWhy are so many cops such incredible cowards?

I was watching Inside Edition and there was this story about a 93 year old man who shot some guy over something. He was polite, let the woman in the room leave without a fuss, fired a warning shot, and only shot the guy he was upset at in the legs instead of the chest or head.

The cops show up and just like always they were screaming hysterically "PuT The GUn dowN! PUt it DoWwwWN!!!" before one of them fired a shot at the old man faster than anyone reasonably could have responded to their inarticulate yelling. Thankfully it missed (they also have awful aim most of the time, huh?) but when the guy calmly put his gun down the officer still slammed him down to the ground to handcuff him.

Look I'm not saying shooting people is fine or that the old man was in the right for what he did, that's irrelevant. The issue I have is that it's like this 90% of the time when the cops respond to a crime, they scream, they shoot, they rough people up, why don't they just try talking to people like normal human beings instead of letting fear and adrenaline reduce them into animals with lethal weapons?
