Mandatory country wide minimal training standards for all LEOs, automatic investigation when a shot is fired, demilitarization, getting rid of trigger happy or clearly racist officers, lowering qualified immunity to a remotely sensible level, it's not like there wouldn't be approaches that work in other countries. Oh and of course doing something about America's gun culture on the other side would be another good start but that's never going to happen either.

The best response in the US so far seems to be registering on potential victims lists like in Seattle (https://www.wired.com/story/how-to-stop-swatting-before-it-h... - HN discussions exist if you're interested).
