I agree with most of that, poorly handled and setting things up for a bad outcome. But all five officers had this mindset? Cops don't go to work thinking, "Man, I hope I get to shoot someone today" Shitty cops may shoot prematurely, or act too aggressively, panic or just plain fuck up. But saying it is pre-meditated is a strong statement.
Again, go do a sit training course if available in your area, or go out for a couple of hours. I am not denying there are terrible cops out there, but you would get a deeper understanding for how difficult it is to make snap judgments like this.
