well, there is one difference that happens when a cop shoots someone than when a citizen does.
police know about the stress on the mind after going through a shooting and how it affects memories and processing of the event. they give officers a couple’days before they interview them and take down the official account because they know that under stress people can remember things out of order, and don’t want to have a case where the officer’s story appears to change after a couple days.
Generally they do not offer this convenience to a citizen who’s gone through the same traumatic type of shooting situation, and that where you have to remember to protect your own ass and tell them “I was in fear for my life, I want to press charges, and I will file a report of what happened with the help of my lawyer and don’t want to file now or talk about it.”
