   @guizzy I think arrests would have avoided this. Not that anyone expects the former police officers to be convicted. (But there'll be riots after they're let off, too.)

     @guizzy They can arrest on "suspicion of abuse of authority" or similarly named charge while they investigate.

     @guizzy In the decades that these cases have been publicized, I am aware of only one case where the cop went to jail.

     Noor in Minneapolis was convicted, though he killed a white woman.

     @musicman That would make sense. Locals would remember which businesses were hassle-free and non-hostile. Once it turns from a demonstration to a riot, though, no one is safe.
