I tend to think that some people want to convict the officer right now, based on the emotional reaction of the shooting.
Just as some people want to sell that Browns shooting was justified because of the violent robbery (And yes in the eyes of the law his actions in the store were both violent and a robbery)
At the end of the day the system has to be emotionally blind. We can't convict because it makes us feel better and we can't excuse because it makes us feel better.
The problem it that the Riots are going to continue until they see the cop hang.
The other side is going to continue to get angrier unless they see the cop cleared.
