It’s insane that they’re just opening fire, while innocent drivers are passing by on the opposite side of that highway.

SOP. The only thing that matters to cops is that cops aren't put at risk. Everyone else is entirely disposable. Here's a hostage situation where the cops killed the suspects, the hostage and a bystander. The cops, of course, investigated themselves and found themselves to be entirely innocent. They have also refused to release the ballistics report from the investigation, in much the same way that the cops who murdered this girl investigated themselves and determined that she was in tactical gear and shooting at them. They then tried to bury the video that shows that those two statements were easily-disprovable lies.
