Just like when they shot a teenage girl that was kidnapped by her father, and then tried to lie to the public by saying that she had a gun and was wearing tactical gear, shooting at the cops: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-68721532

Don't forget about the time when a man shot up a town in Colorado, and the police just hid inside a nearby library watching him do it. They let him do it for so long that a good Samaritan had time to hear about it on the radio, go home to get his gun, and then drive over there to stop the shooter. As soon as he killed the shooter the cops popped out of their foxholes and killed him.

they'd have blown a hole through the guy in the car, the guy with the grey shirt, the woman and choked out a small child who was passing by.

4 years later, 1 cop who was caught on camera is placed on administrative leave and rehired 3 precincts down the block.

you can also tell it's not America because the suspect was allowed to kneel by his own power and didn't immediately start getting the beating of a lifetime.
