I guess it depends on what counts as a "pass." I think that the state mortally wounding someone is always a failure. There are different severity levels, to be sure, but there's a reason that they're all investigated. Even in the (in my estimation) relatively small fraction that are in fact truly, expressly legally justified, it's a failure on a different layer of the stack.
