Do you think the police could use a escalation of force similar to the Army?

I have friends and family that are police officers. I know the police force has some sort of sop for lethal Force. They're also outfitted with a non-lethal weapons. I think it would be beneficial for the police force to demonstrate to the public and their Rules of Engagement and standard operating procedures for lethal Force.

They already do. The question is are they sufficient, are they followed, and are they understood by the public.

That's why I believe a thorough demonstration of the process would be beneficial. They could also show the ability of a situation to escalate directly to lethal force.

SGT (Join to see) - Great video. More citizens need to view this video and / or get a chance at the same shoot or don't shoot training the Revron went through.

The video that SGT (Join to see) posted is definitely something that could be useful.
The general public will likely never fully understand the ROEs of Use of Force. I have been a long time supported of Law Enforcement and when I went through Use of Force Training myself I was surprised at what I learned just with how many thing justify lethal force. That is something that hard headed people will never agree with though, even with those classes.
One of the main things we learned is when it comes to having to deal with someone you as an officer (or in my case a SF Augmentee) have to have the advantage. It's not supposed to be a fair fight, it's supposed to be unfair and in your favor as the person trying to regain control of the situation at hand. The problem is too many people in the public don't see it that way. I know my fair share of people that would say that cops should never use a higher level of force than the suspect is using but they don't understand how quickly things can go south and just how extreme they can as well. As seen in that video it goes from him just verbally arguing with a guy to the guy pulling a gun and shooting him.
Unless people see how quickly things can get bad they will never understand. Unfortunately even in videos on YouTube of cops getting injured or killed most of the people commenting are still swaying towards the side of the criminal because there's people out there who just have a hatred of the uniform and badge plain and simple.
