John Lang was severely mentally ill. And police didn't rule his death a suicide: the coroner did, because the stab wounds he experienced were superficial and appeared self-inflicted, and his cause of death was from smoke inhalation. Firefighters had to chop down barricades that had been constructed from the inside of his house. Plus, the police aren't going to kill you by stabbing you and then burning your house down (at least, if they're acting as part of a conspiracy). There's no benefit and huge potential costs for them.
