They would call it murder... except, in reality, he didn't get the gun from the careless cop. Instead, he was running away. The cops had the guy's car so they could easily find out where he lived (there is this thing called a license plate). And, the guy's actual "crime...?" He was sleeping in a parked car.
What would they call it if he was drunk, driving (instead of being parked), and he plowed into a car with innocent occupants?
The core problem is there is a disregard for life and society has given police "too much" authority. Some things, even if they are wrong (like sleeping "it off" in a parked car on commercial property) don't meet the reasonability test for one human taking the life of another no matter what kind of uniforms each are wearing.
