Daily Mail Australia reported Freeman asked officers not to enter his bus, and that his frame of mind deteriorated as police told him what the warrant was for and asked that he come out and talk to them.
He reportedly called the allegations “bull—-” and branded the police “Nazis” and “psychopaths”, accusing them of trespassing and committing many crimes.
This masthead has confirmed the footage is legitimate and that it is also not police vision.
The Mail reports that Detective Thompson – who was tearfully farewelled at a funeral on Monday – opened a bus window and clambered in feet first.
It was then that two gunshots rang out, the officers ran for cover and the video ended.
On Monday, Sergeant Lisa Thompson told a congregation of more than 3000 mourners at the Victoria Police Academy in Glen Waverley that her partner, Thompson, had shown her and his step-children “how brilliant life is, if you have the courage to try”.

“He taught me how to love without fear and how to be brave when I’m scared. I am so grateful you did because I am scared. I don’t want to live this life without you and I don’t want to finish our dreams on my own,” she said.
Days earlier, Senior Constable Vadim de Waart-Hottart was also farewelled in the same chapel, filled with family, friends, the Victorian premier, and the prime minister.
His mother, Carolina de Waart, father Alain Hottart and brother Sacha de Waart-Hottart flew from Belgium, bringing their grief and their memories.
Sacha reached back to childhood to explain the love and care he knew as the essence of Vadim. “My brother’s always been my hero, my protector,” he said.
Freeman has been on the run since the shooting 15 days ago, taking weapons left by officers at the scene and running into remote bushland nearby.
More than 400 police officers and the Australian Defence Force are now involved in the search.
