This story should have been worded better. There were no carjackers, the plain clothes officers were mistaken for carjackers due to their actions and either:
1. Not identifying themselves properly when they swarmed the vehicle, or
2. Not identifying themselves at all, until after the damage was done.
This paragraph is the tell:

A key issue at trial was whether Northrup and his partner had identified themselves as police officers. The officers say they did; Zameer claims they didn’t or at least he didn’t hear them do so. In any event, though, I wouldn’t put impersonating a police officer beyond your average carjacker.

He was swarmed and boxed in, with no further information available, he reacted in a reasonable manner.
The surviving officers will not be charged with murder/ manslaughter, as they are uniformed professionals who can do no wrong.
