Its framed as an "officer" with no other descriptions, usually this means non-white

Why do you need this spoon fed to you? Do you not know how to read or how to use a search function?
Do you still think it was an accidental discharge?
A North Miami, Fla., caretaker was shot and wounded by police Monday as he tried to retrieve a 23-year-old autistic man who had wandered from a mental-health center into the street , the Miami Herald reports.
Cellphone video released Wednesday shows the caretaker, Charles Kinsey, lying on the ground, with his hands in the air, trying to reason with police officers as they approached Kinsey and his patient, the autistic man.

I would have thought that someone who claims to teach LEO and such would get it.

I didn't write that
officers should draw their weapons and command the suspect to drop their gun and get on the ground. The dialogue that happens between an officer and the suspect is what some experts call the most important aspect of police work.
If the suspect complies, one officer should then search the suspect for any additional weapons while the other officer still has his or her gun drawn. If a concealed weapon is found, officers should place cuffs on the suspect.
Officers should keep their guns in their dominant hand, leaving their other hand free for other actions, including using their radios to call for help. If the suspect doesn't follow orders and makes a threatening movement, that's when an officer must make a split-second decision whether to fire.
Though officers may have less than a second to decide whether to shoot, they need to take various factors into account. They must consider the suspect's size, age, known history of violence or mental disability, availability of weapons and the suspect-officer ratio.
When feasible, officers should warn the suspect that they're going to shoot if they continue to present a threat.
If the suspect points a gun at someone, or reaches for a gun in a way that indicates they're going to shoot, police are allowed to fire.
Police are trained to shoot at "center mass," or a suspect's torso where many vital organs are located.
