Are ordinary citizens prosecuted for homicides in cases where the actions they performed would not be reasonably likely to kill someone?
When acting in their official capacity, police officers are not "ordinary citizens" and the actions they perform are protected by the law when the action would not be reasonably likely to kill someone.
If the reasonable actions that police perform weren't protected then no one would be a police officer.

And if police get to kill people with impunity and say "oops," no one will want a police force.
