A lot of people are disappointed, wishing for a longer sentence, but I'm most disappointed that the momentum behind police reform has more or less evaporated without any meaningful changes. "Defund the police" was always a doomed bit of messaging. "Demilitarize the police" should be something everyone agrees on. If it took more money to better train police in stuff like conflict de-escalation and somehow de-fetishizing the "warrior hero" mindset that some police seem to have, fine, tax me.
