That is not what got him killed and I think you know that.

What got him killed was trying to grab the cops gun. That is
tantanount to attempted murder and no cop of any color will let that
stand.

That's ego talking, which is exactly why the cop should stand trial
for murder. You cannot take a life because it satisfies your ego.

He took a life, because he feared for his life. Try to take a cops gun
away in a confrontational situation. That cop wants to be able to go home
to his family. Same as if you broke into someone's house. The homeowner
could possible run out the door, but if his family is still there, or he
figured too many people get killed in home invasion robberies. He will
shoot to kill! Your buddy Harry, mr Liberal, states that fact.
