And then run over with treads. And then reversed. And then run over again. And then hosed the remains into a nearby sewer.

If we take most reliable estimates of the casualties than happened in the june 4th incident, ~200, then US cops kill more than that in 2 months.

Or if you want a single internal incident, during the Waco siege the US burned alive ~90 people, many women and children included.

And US cops don't wait for protestors to burn a bunch of policemen and try to kill bystanders. But then again, the most prominent organizers ain't CIA so why would they ever do that.
