Surely this goes to a trial if he wasn't stereotyped as a thug. People would be wondering what the hell happened for the altercation to even happen in the first place but they don't, even though the policeman had no real reason to suspect him of anything at the time.

It is fair to debate the merits or efficacy of the protest, but you do realize the rioters are not the protestors, right? There are protests across the US now and the rioters are the minority of the participants.
