It looks like murder from the little I have seen. A full investigation needs to be made with full public disclosure. Appropriate charges filed after investigation, as warranted.
As to the riots, in many cases it is not the community or family seeking revenge, it is outsiders, anarchists and other criminal elements using situations like this to justfy their own destructive, self-serving and potentially deadly behavior. They use the rightful outrage of decent people to fuel the fires of resentment. Those participants then feel they can act out with impunity. Rioting never ends well for most, sending trust, racial and economic relations and society as a whole heading backward. Rioters should be dealt with for what they are, criminals.
As to the officers involved in this case, they should be dealt with per the outcome of the government investigation. IMHO.
