Well, what it's starting to look like (to me) is that they shot the alien, and then tried to cover up evidence at the scene. That makes me VERY uncomfortable, because if police power is not frequently checked, it has a tendancy to expand rapidly...
Also, the police were unable to establish that they knew he was a drug runner before they shot him. That's a big point of interest for me...
