That's a false equivalence. If you shoot someone with a gun, it's reasonable to expect them to die.
It is not a reasonable expectation that someone will die when you ask them their name and tell them to put down their weapon.

You can reasonably know that shooting a person with a bullet will cause injury or death. Telling them to drop their weapon and surrender does not usually cause injury or death.

I meant the cops might not be at fault
If you shoot someone, we don't say that technically the bullet killed them not the person who fired the shot.
