Drugs should be legalized. For all the 18+ adults. Mafia stays out of business, plus addicts don't do loads of small crimes they otherwise do to get the money for heroin.
As far as police shooting goes, it depends what kind of society you want. Even then, there are several ways to get there, depending on the starting point. I mean, imagine working as a cop. Would you prefer:
a) being allowed to shoot anyone that tries anything suspicious (reaching for glove box, or under arm, or belt...).
b) knowing that the law gives automatic death sentence to anyone that tries to shoot (or stab) a cop, and knowing that the criminals know that you are not allowed to shoot until they shoot first at someone (so they won't panic and shoot you in fear of you shooting them).
One thing's certain - shooting someone can't be taken back. Once they're shot, they're shot. The others live with it, for better or worse.

Most things done in a hurry need to be done again - patiently.
