Certainly those count as some of the similarities, and that they were both approaching officers, both ignoring orders to stop, both reaching for what could be weapons, both plausibly attempting suicide by cop, both shot dead. These are not trivial points of correspondence, rather they are the key points in both cases: Is shooting someone who is doing those things justifiable? And, again, I think it depends on the exact circumstances.
