He was shot in error. Cops make them all the time. They are not brain surgeons, else they would not be cops. If what the cop did was intentional rather than a mistake he should be in jail. That is justice. Having to pay out several million dollars for a mistake is not.

I didn't say they should "pay out several million dollars."

I said that $70,000 for being mistakenly shot by the police is not fair and just compensation.

Tell me, John Q. Public hears shooting and shoots an innocent man on a roof, will he get charged? The standard should be the same.
