This is cop terminology, it's intentionally vague and abstract to avoid prejudgment. Sort of like saying "alleged" before everything.

Calls him an actor in the first 20 seconds. As someone else pointed out, this is not that unusual because, like many words, the word actor has different meanings in different contexts in English.

  1. I believe the word actor is used sometimes to be synonymous with criminal or doer, i.e. actors in the heist

  2. However, even if that’s true, the use of that word could definitely be a form of mockery. And I may be wrong about #1.

Agreed. It looked staged to me too, but police call arrestees "actors" sometimes

It still plays in English. I could go either way.
