The guy is cuffed and basically on his stomach I believe with a cop on his shoulders. The shooter stands up, pulls out his gun and fires.

I hope it was an accident. Not only for the reputation of police officers but for the sake of the good cops who are out there. Unfortunately, the situation was handled poorly. The cops proceeded to go around and illegally confiscate cell phones from bystanders to try and destroy evidence.

No excuse for violent protests though. However, I understand their frustration. These cops should all have been terminated. Cops routinely get off with slaps on the wrists for their deadly actions.
