the jurors don't believe the police, surely since the juror's don't believe the officers statements compared to the counter statements that the policemen then surely perjured themselves

It was probably down to the "self defence" and "reasonable force" legal arguments.
Of course, those were based on false assumptions.
Ultimately it's a waste of public resources as despite the details its obvious that it -was- an unlawful killing, because he was innocent. That's not to say the individual officers are solely to blame as I would want them to hesitate in a real situation but at the same time someone needs to take responsibility.
If it wasn't the case that a young man's life and death had been at stake, it would be fucking hilarious.
And they fucking wonder why so many people dislike them...
