I think the safest outcome is for the jury to be deadlocked, with two jurors already expressing feelings of duress to force a guilty verdict. This will protect the jurors. Then the judge declares a mistrial with prejudice.
Hopefully the judge has already notified the governor to be prepared to act immediately when the mistrial is announced.
If the National Guard are deployed *first* it will make rioting much harder. Hopefully police departments will loan them lots of riot shields against projectiles. Lots of state police should be ready in the area as a reaction force.
Phone companies should be prepared to suspend wireless networks, to prevent rioter coordination.

That's for sure. This rioting garbage could be and should be controlled, period. It wasn't before, so here we are, but it's too late for that now.
