I'm sympathetic to the deceased's family. But it strikes me that if you assault a police vehicle with armed cops inside with the evident intent to do physical harm, you'd better be wearing a bulletproof vest.

That has yet to be proven. Simply tumping a vehicle over is not in and of itself 'intent to do physical harm'. You assume, without evidence, that the protestors even knew the van was occupied. Further, you assume that the protestor shot was actually involved. Further, you assume that the store the police stated is accurate.
