Yes, if a crime you are committing results in a police death of a person then you are liable

In the US at least, not Canada

Love that people doing crimes are held to higher standards than cops

Well of course he should be charged for burglary and theft. He did commit those crimes, but I don't think he should be charged with murder. He didn't shoot the gun, the cop did. I'm not necessarily saying the cop should be charged with murder though.
