Yup. While they're people, they do have to follow their training for a giant list of reasons (their own safety, insurance, the law, etc.) Nobody ever says "oh, those C-train operators are just high on authority, hitting people that walk onto the train tracks and all!". But while it's a bit of a weird comparison, it's more or less the same thing. Enough of these have gone on for everyone to know that the police procedure for dealing with an armed individual who isn't obeying the police, is to shoot them.
I have all the sympathy in the world for any of the family and friends, but zero sympathy for the guy shot.
