The bystanders should be charged with inciting to riot.
I agree. Our tax dollars at work in a place that doesn't want basic services. Geez, can't we just cordone off the area? After all, its a DMZ. And please don't tell me about poverty...when immigrants who can't speak English and are not white make it.

We aren't given enough information for you to make this charge. This cop may have had a reputation for being a real jerk and the people were sick of him. I don't know and neither do you.

How about complicity to the battery?
The bystanders should be mowed down with heavy machine gun fire once the cop was retrieved.
