That kinda sounds like an admission that they know soldiers are committing war crimes, doesn't it?

The whole operation is a crime.
Absolutely
Israeli police policy is the testing ground for the Global North. If they're implementing this for the IDF, it's just a matter of time before these policies show up to shield members of the NYPD and the Texas State Troopers.
Given the "problem" of people filming police brutality and reporting on international war crimes, I don't doubt we'll see a further criminalization of both amateur freelance journalism and sanctions aimed at bigger media clearing houses that publish or comment on police violence, military misconduct, and genocidal national policies.
Oh come on.
These are two very different subjects. Conflating police brutality with war crimes is but beyond hyperbolic. What are you, 14?
Yes, police brutality is a problem, yes it's bad, yes, people are dying
No, I don't see police forces raping and pillaging, no I don't see police forces killing civilians at random day in and day out, no I don't see police killing babies every day, no I don't see police bombing entire cities out of existence, no I don't see police forces executing innocent civilians on a daily basis, no I don't see police death camps.
This is the same as calling rape when a guy touches a woman's arm. It cheapens the actual crimes to a level where it means nothing anymore.
Stop it. Grow up.

Officer pulled over woman, then raped her, Texas officials say. ‘Predator with a badge’
In the middle of the night on Nov. 16, 2019, Ruiz was working as an officer for the Arcola Police Department and pulled over a 23-year-old woman, prosecutors said. At one point during the traffic stop, he told the woman to “convince” him not to take her to jail, according to officials.
Ruiz took the woman’s driver’s license and told her to follow him. The woman tried to drive away, but Ruiz pulled her over again, prosecutors said. Officials said Ruiz then took her to a construction area, made her drink alcohol and sexually assaulted her.
