Even though he could not say much because he's restricted by the investigation, I give the mayor credit for having that press conference. So far they seem to be handling things well, unless we learn otherwise down the road.
As soon as the investigators were given that video, Slager was terminated, arraigned, and being held without bond less than four days after the incident. I understand the protestors being upset, but that's pretty swift justice. Hopefully it's just initial venting, and not a precursor of things to come.
Also, good for the mayor ordering all police to wear body cameras immediately. My opinion is they should be on every officer on duty at all times. Keeps everyone honest when incidents occur.
