I've wondered how many of the incidents would have not ended with someone injured or killed if the officer had practiced better officer safety and common sense instead of needlessly placing him/herself at a tactical disadvantage, and then using that disadvantage as the justification for the force used.

Poor tactics is irrelevant to the use of deadly force. The initiator of the situation - the dead shithead - is the sole individual responsible. Great case out of AZ wherein the FBI did some really stupid stuff and shot the living dog snot out of a bank stopping an armed robbery. I mean really stupid stuff. Court found that it may have been stupid and very poor tactics but they weren't the ones putting the use of force into issue, the bank robbers were.
