The question I have is what precedence would this set for law enforcement?
If this is murder then it opens the door for almost defacto murder charges for any death in custody where you could posit that in theory even if remote that the police action contributed to it.
I suspect this has already caused enormous damage. Good cops will already see this as making it very difficult for them to perform their job. Even if they issue the correct verdict of innocent cops will realise that they will still be arrested, incarcerated and prosecuted in these cases.
I've seen this sort of thing personally long before and we've really seen it with police being afraid to tackle BLM letting them rove around in gangs doing anything they like.
Sometimes the result isn't so visible. It's not easily recorded when the police don't bother to turn up nor can you so easily point fingers at them for doing something wrong when they do turn up but don't do anything.
A more bizarre result of this is that there have now been several recorded cases of black people having a psychotic breakdown thinking they'll die if the police even touch them in the slightest.

Law enforcement will have extremely reduced effectiveness....
Vigilantism will return and the media will of course complain about that....
Even though they CAUSED THE ISSUE in the first place...
