There's a video, and there's also nothing to "turn around", because the man who was shot had nothing to do with any of it.

There are clearly a couple of faults here; the first and most obvious is the idiot who deliberately sent armed police to a random house knowing full well what could happen.

The second is the American system overall, the gun violence they're used to dealing with, and the prevalence of firearms which makes it possible to do this in the first place; in most countries, it simply wouldn't go down the same way.

And the third simply IS the police officer who fired. There were loads of officers there - only one fired. He fired before the officer with the megaphone had even finished communicating. And he fired on an unarmed man when they're trained NOT to fire until they've seen a threat (a gun, bomb, knife at close range etc.). He didn't have any of those things and the officer made a mistake. I don't see how there can be any argument that he didn't make a mistake?? He shot an unarmed, innocent man in his own doorway.
