But not truthfully trolling.

The percentage of such, ahem, "cases" is incredibly low: especially those where any wrongdoing actually occurred.

Paying $15K (for example) is merely a fee to go away, the equivalent of a $50 citation you don't feel like fighting. Actual guilt would have demanded more $$$.

Interesting that you think this asshole detective in Mass is a "good guy".

Interesting but far from surprising.

He's at least as good as whom he pulled over...

Ah, in Zeke World, a 'flaming asshole' is at worst equivalent to a 'guy who gets confused by a roundabout in a strange town after dark.' This would be, of course, because the flaming asshole is a cop, while the confused guy is just a citizen.

Last I checked we don't live in a police state. Having been hassled most of my adult life by the authorities, just because of my long hair, beard. Both could be remedied if wanted.

Pulled over searched left having to put the contents back into my van many times. Had guns drawn, handcuffed arrested. Trust me I shut my mouth and went to court. Let go. Knowing full well what might happen, wife seeing a 22 I never owned in my dead hand. Nothing worse then having a overzealous power hungry gun totin person in authority bulling you.

Finally they will now have to think before they act.

Only if they earn it via action(s).

Would you say the citizen in this case even earned the THREAT of having a hole blown in their head? Answer this question, do not evade!

Make an officer fear for his life in any manner that can be articulated?

Deadly force is justified.

What's the standard on fear? Is it necessary to feel like your stomach just departed for the center of the earth, or would a quite mild reaction, sort of as one might feel on backing into a doorknob, be enough to justify blowing someone's brains out?
