they reasonably felt their life was unjustly threatened
It's not reasonable to think the police are out to kill you.

the logic of leaving it entirely to them can only lead to escalation if followed through to its natural conclusion
There are two sides of the interaction and both need to be addressed. Just because we're discussing one side in this topic doesn't meant anyone is advocating that the other side be ignored. On the part of the individual the advice is to not antagonize the police. On the part of the police, departments need more funding, officers need better training, more officers should be hired in order to give other officers more time off. Also something should be done about the laws such that if the individual is about to overdose on a controlled substance they can feel safe in asking the police for help without worrying about going to prison. But people would rather defund or abolish the police so those things aren't going to happen. Since the police won't get what they need to address their deficiencies more responsibility for influencing the interaction is placed on the individual.

If you want to solve the problem, you need to treat the root of it, which is eliminating cops that are prone to inappropriate violence. That's really all there is to it.
My mistake. Apparently you're advocating that the other side of the interaction be ignored.

Nobody's complaining about reasonable mistakes.
A cop was just convicted for making the mistake of restraining someone instead of just throwing them in the car, ignoring their plea for help, and taking them to the precinct to be booked where they might have died of a drug overdose anyway. The other cops that were at the scene are now facing charges for the mistake of not tazing the person to subdue him before the other cop even arrived. People complain because a cop made the mistake of pulling their gun when they meant to pull their tazer. People complain when the police don't make a mistake and do their job as intended.

investigating legitimate mistakes, but it's unlikely to result in prosecuting them
Why would you prosecute for a legitimate mistake? Oh right, the riots.
