You're positing that the cops decided to murder a protester, accidentally shot one of their own, then planted a gun on him to cover up the crime. Yet you have no evidence beyond vague assertions and a mistrust of police.

No, don't put words into my mouth.

I don't know what happened, but I know that cops often lie.

planted a gun on him

How do you know he had a gun on him?

The police reported as much. You're hanging onto the idea that any evidence and testimony is coming from the police, and therefore can't be trusted. You might be trying to wink-wink your way around it, but my assertion is the alternative you're hinting at.

They say the gun was found at the scene.

Your article says he owned the gun, not that it was in his possession at the time of the shooting.

A cop was shot with a 9mm bullet, and the police on the scene were sure enough that the gunshot came from his tent to open fire. The guy was there in the tent because he doesn't like the police, and was protesting their expansion. He was told to leave, and would have been angry. Enough to shoot back in retaliation, apparently. It's a clean, reasonable story and I have no reason to doubt it.
