> Bill gets shot in the head because the cop doesn't like him.

I assume that cops while having great leeway in how they frame their story, still have to explain such incidents and have a risk to their career if they don't do a good job of it.

So at the very least the cop has to hate Bill enough to go through the pain of explaining away Bill's death and dealing with any administrative consequences.
