If you made a charge of police abuse in Santa Cruz, you would first hope to trigger an investigation by internal affairs.

A more distant investigation of SCPD abuse would be by the Sheriff's Dept.

Perhaps a State of California regulatory agency might take up the investigation.

A case of police abuse might go all the way to the Supreme Court.

BUT IT IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY THAT A FOREIGN POWER, THE UNITED NATIONS, OR THE HAGUE would investigate local USA police abuse.

Yet you want the readers to ASSUME that the Israeli report was biased to the point that people should disregard it without reading it because "they are just better liars."

Since no other country ever has "independent" investigations of their own internal allegations of excessive force or abuse of its codes of conduct, why do you have a special (double) standard for Israel?
