Optics is a confusing and fucked up game. He already publicly denounced the charge on Capitol Hill so it's not a good look to honor one of the patriots who was part of the charge. It's pretty disgusting and does not do Ashli any justice...
Could just be an oversight, could be that he was heavily advised on phrasing. With how chaotic his world is right now, hard to imagine keeping pure focus on anything at all.

Is he really scared to say "all" deaths? I know he's pro police, but this feels wrong to me.

Could be. I hope he says something later.
I think you're right. Found the press release they were quoting and just sounds like administrative nothing. https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/proclamation-honoring-united-states-capitol-police-officers/
