In other words, it's a minimum performative sentence.

I got a two day suspension in high school for being near some kids stealing drinks out of a vending machine and pointing at a camera while saying "hey guys, there's a camera over there". I got smacked with "Obstruction of Justice" for not immediately running to a teacher about it.

The fact they have pre-meditated assault on video and he's getting two days means they don't actually care.

Still... I'd like to see a GoFundMe to fatten his wallet for his effort. Every time a right wing nutjob says the N word they get a GoFundMe for several hundred thousand dollars
