No, it's perfectly reasonable, if the prospect of being shot down is

something you're supposed to be aware of--which is indeed the case
here.

Could you explain why you disagree?


Certainly. I find it preposterous because the danger is not
engendered
buy the actions of the "offender". The lethal danger presented by the

actions of law enforcement is - theoretically - a danger that is
controlled by experts in the interest of public safety, and as such
not
a a danger to the public. If the police shoot at a fleeing bank
robber,
and miss, do we charge the robber for attempted murder, because he
could
have been killed?

No but if a third person is hit by that bullet that the police fires
the bank robber will usually be charged.
