His friend getting killed by the cops as a result of a crime sprea is grounds for Felony Murder charges. You can say it's a dumb law but you cannot say the charges are bullshit.

Yes, I can say the charges are bullshit because they're bullshit. Felony murder in general is bullshit. Felony murder for a murder not committed by a member of the group is extra bullshit. Felony murder charges for a member of the group getting killed by the cops is ridiculous bullshit.
