I don't believe at this point that's fact. It will be for a jury to decide. As of now, the only protocol we know they violated was a restraint policy implemented literally days before.
And following protocol can still land you in court defending yourself, so when the mob demands a trial even when policy was followed to the letter, officers are going to have pause. There's a reason officers have greater protections than you or I walking down the street, and if you want to take that away you will see them choosing not to engage more.
