Training and drilling to stay calm and de-escalate situations. Training on how to handle confused individuals or individual with mental illnesses. Be better at working as an organisation and not rely on the action of a single cop. Change laws procedures so that persons of interest can still have hope and that being arrested does not equal to the end of life as they know it. Strangely enough, fair process and trials and forgiving laws help make it less likely that people being arrested attempt desperate violent actions against the cops. In return, it makes the cops job easier and reduces their likeliness to use excessive force. Again, the probability of getting caught is the most effective deterrent to criminal activity , not the severity of the punishment.
