It appears that this time around the shooters were only "impersonating" the police

Just in case you thought this behavior was somehow "recent"

Thank you S2.Just in case you thought this behavior was somehow "recent" #306
Sadly, the message I draw from this is not that we can strut with pride because we are a nation of laws based on immutable noble principles.
Instead that we must tread with eternal caution, that our safety is not in law, but in probability.
It shouldn't happen.
We KNOW it shouldn't happen. BUT !
Our salvation is, I hope it doesn't happen to me. - grim -

"But if you abolish police, what will we do about sex crimes"
There were 29 law enforcement officers who were arrested, pled guilty and/or were sentenced to prison for child sex crimes in the month of June
If you go to X (i.e., Twitter) and do a search for the sentence in red you'll find details of each offender.
And remember - these are just the ones that were caught.

A government $paycheck is a license to murder.
1985 MOVE bombing
The cliché is "a picture is worth a thousand words". This aerial photograph is worth three letters: O. M. G.

IIRC from ~40 year old faded memory MOVE presented a serious public safety problem reportedly including neighborhood gunfire.
In my opinion that's a problem requiring appropriate government response.
It didn't go well.
Good governance is not all ways easy.
When and if government compensates people that have suffered substantially from such outcome,
that $compensation is provided not by government, but by the People. The government is merely the conduit. They take our money, and in cases like this, they give some of it back.

Louisiana to pay $9 million to a man who was shot in the back by state trooper during traffic stop
Louisiana authorities have agreed to pay $9 million to a man who was partially paralyzed from the waist down after a trooper shot him in the back during a 2018 traffic stop in Baton Rouge and then falsely reported it as a Taser discharge.The settlement reached last month is among the largest of its kind in state history and resolves a federal lawsuit by Clifton “Scotty” Dilley, whose injuries confined him to a wheelchair when he was 19. The terms of the settlement, which were not made public, were provided to The Associated Press by a person with direct knowledge who was not authorized to disclose them and spoke on condition of anonymity.
The shooting was mentioned in a US Justice Department report this year that found Louisiana State Police used excessive force during arrests and vehicle pursuits.
State police fired Trooper Kasha Domingue after determining she shot Dilley “without any reliable justification,” failed to activate her body-worn camera and gave inconsistent accounts that were contradicted by surveillance video.
The agency also found that her misreporting the incident as a tasing “delayed the appropriate responses to the shooting,” according to records reviewed by AP.
Domingue’s explanation for opening fire evolved over the years. Court records show that she alternatively ....

The casual phrase "federal pen" refers to prisons that in the past were called "penitentiaries".
The reality is, such institutions could not be relied upon to render residents, inmates "penitent", feeling or expressing remorse for one's misdeeds or sins; contrite.
The debate / dispute has not been resolved, but paying a fine both derives revenue for the recipient government/s *, and penalizes the violator, ostensibly for fundamental Skinnerian conditioning, "negative reinforcement".
Negative reinforcement can be effective, for example the young child that out of curiosity and ignorance pokes his finger into a candle flame, learning to not do so again.
The result:
- the government employee, in #312 case a Louisiana State policewoman Domingue fired "without any reliable justification". The consequence, Louisiana kicks back a few $million back to the People from which it was originally taken.
States generally can't "print money" the way the U.S. federal government can. Thus, Uncle Sam can run both deficits and debt, but States ought not (spit happins).
The result:
In computer science this is known as a dysfunctional feedback loop.
The People are victimized whether by individual or group, and then the People are penalized, having their tax revenue channeled to compensate victims of government employees perpetrating criminal act/s.
This dysfunction is almost certain to continue until it is the actual criminal government employee that pays the penalty.
* in New York, when a town policeman issues a revenue deriving traffic summons, it's not uncommon for the fine revenue to be split, shared with the State of New York.
