and that bullet meant for his leg can:

* hit the femoral artery and kill him anyways
* ricochet and hit another bystander
* go through the floor and hit someone downstairs(assuming they're not on ground floor
* simply missthe reason officers don't shoot legs or arms is because they're extremely small targets than in tense situations are hard to hit, so they usually target the biggest piece: center mass

he obviously knew his hand was empty but in the heat of the moment i think he acted on what instincts the police academy put forth.

shaver reached around his waistband, and armed or not, still appears that he's reaching for a gun. you won't know any better and neither will the most well-trained officer.
when someone's job could mean that they're getting shot in the head every time they go on shift, they're not going to be nice to people they think have a lethal weapon, which this officer had very good reason to believe so.

this officer disarmed a man, only to be shot in the back of the head by a second gun.

guy gets out of truck and throws a whole ass rifle at the officer

guy draws handgun on cop and hits him 4 times, once in the neck

when your everyday job could end with your head wide open at any moment in the fraction of a second, you're not going to trust people you've got your gun pointed at, especially if they've been seen with a gun pointed out of a window and they reach around their waistband
