They tried it in Minnesota when a black guy shot himself instead of getting arrested. I think that was at the Mall of America. It was caught on video, so they didn't get much momentum.

Edit: looks like it was at Nicollet Mall, and they did riot. Here's an archived CNN piece on it. https://archive.is/Y9Sib
