So then why don't we just have the police shoot on sight for any suspected crime? Police get called to store theft, just shoot the suspect. Police get called to vandalism, shoot first.

The obvious reasons not to do that is because it is stupid, disproportionate punishment, prone to abuse and irreversible if there is a mistake.
All that is a risk accepted by the perpetrator. The expectation of being safe from danger while committing a crime is absurd.
