I think that saying definitely applies to some people who die. Like, it's very sad that that teenage French rock climber died today. But, climbing the faces of cliffs without a harness is a pretty stupid game. 
Cliffs are just rocks.  If they are inherently dangerous, no one can change that.
But police are people. If they are inherently dangerous, they should be able to change that about themselves.

Could either police officer been more cordial right up to resisting arrest?  Take is a step further, instead of giving him multiple warnings of stop resisting or you’re gonna get tazed they just tazed him?  He’d still be alive but charges of police brutality and racist cops would be all over the news.  This one is a false narrative.  Black, brown, red, green and gasp, even white, if you play stupid games you win stupid prizes.
