If he straight walks then yeah, the riots will be historic. Police will basically have carte blanche to murder anyone they want if he walks.
Stating the obvious here, but this probably happens way more than we could ever know. There needs to be no more if, ands or buts about putting body cameras on officers. Sucks we can't trust them to do the right, legal thing, but we simply can't and shouldn't take their word as being fact.

You can thank whoever took that video with having the balls to keep recording after watching a cop murder an unarmed civilian. A lot of people would have shut it off at that point and started running, missing the evidence being planted and likely allowing the cop to walk
