"An officer discharged his weapon"..."The driver of the vehicle was struck"
Quite intentionally using passive voice in that second statement as if the officer didn't intend to shoot the victim. This is murder.
Police and their renfields need to be killed. There's no other way. We've tried everything else, there is no peaceful resolution and their violent escalation will never stop. You aren't safe while there are pigs loose in your city, even if you're a rich whote man-modern architecture isn't made to stop bullets.
The passive voice is actually common in police reports throughout the United States. This is not new. (The passive voice is also a bad habit of journalists who report on officer-involved violence.)
The difference now is that the state agents are loyal to the regime rather than the state. There's not even a pretense of enforcing the law.
