I think that so far, since the charges have been reduced, in my opinion, that has been satisfied.
Attempted murder in the second degree is an odd crime anyhow. The factual requirements which separate that from something like aggravated assault are minimal. This allows a lot of prosecutorial discretion -- something which isn't always going to be something we agree with.
Hopefully, if nothing else, this incident causes the LA state legislature to look long and hard at its criminal code. That, if nothing else is what protesters ought to be talking about.
