You got too old to forget what it's like to be 17? 

He drove a long way to perform this protection. Not like it was a spur of the moment act that happened at the end of his street.

No doubt the firearms inflamed a situation and got everyone killed though. Which will now be on his conscience for life (if he has empathy)

His behavior was remarkably controlled and demonsrated his successful training as a police cadet. He was participating in the defense of Kenosha as part of the local militia per a call by Kenosha alderman Kevin Mathewson. Standing invited on private property with a rifle is not a crime, being attacked by a mob for doing so makes the person a victim. If you think him having a rifle inflamed the situation then you aren't paying attention. He deterred those goons from burning the buildings without shooting anyone, he ran from the goons to avoid shooting them, he shot them after the knocked him down, assaulted him with bottles and a skateboard and then pointed a gun at him. These are simple facts that will lead to exoneration no matter how you wish it weren't so. The guy was brave and his behavior and response almost perfect. "He shouldn't have been there" is both irrelevant and nothing but an attempt at victim shaming.
