Which is generally why such things are formulated as a duty instead. But you don't even need to do that in the case of the police. The police is special because they get granted the monopoly on violence. It seems obvious to me that granting such a powerful and dangerous tool should come with limits. E.g. the police is allowed to use violence only in the pursuit of protecting citizens.
So no, not a positive right, just a "freedom from" getting shot by the police for no reason.
