Police reform that involves the creation of units that specialize in petty crimes and have de-escalation training feels like the obvious answer, but we'll continue to ask the same cops to respond to every crime on the books and with appropriate levels of force.
For the record, I'm not making excuses for the cop. He murdered this lady and should be charged as such. However, we continue to see this problem and as a society seem to think it's just going to resolve itself by pointing out bad cops.
