It is an undoubtedly futile attempt to appease the violent rioting, looting criminal out of control mob. The police could be charged and tried but these charges are ridiculously over the top. When the shooting is found to be justified in a court of law the looting, rioting and other criminal behavior will come back even worse. This is an ill-conceived not well thought out tactic. Those in charge should stand firm but of course they will not which will eventually exacerbate the situation.
The cops involved in the grievous George Floyd homicide should be tried in a court of law but these guys were likely justified. It was a very different situation.
