The unarmed man is in no way responsible for the police-shooting criminals and their deeds. There's no connection.
I think it's baffling how killing unarmed people seems to get filed under "collateral damage" that simply comes with the dangerous job. (I know you didn't exactly do that, but I do get why people get sour about this and other marginalizations.)
What relates the two is how one (citizen shot by police) is focused on and made a topic to a much higher degree than the other (police assaulted by a citizen) and how little regard is given to how it affects them in their day to day job and how it could affect their decision making.
