He was only arrested and charged because of the protests.

I have a feeling that would have happened regardless. Do you have a source that shows there wasn't an intent to charge him before the protests?

Literally that just happened with the murder of Ahmaud Arbery, right before George Floyd's murder. Extreme conflicts of interest. These events back-to-back really set the bonfire alight. The immediate outrage over George Floyd's murder, ensuing demonstrations, and demands for charges to be filed probably helped motivate charges actually getting filed promptly. That's definitely not a guarantee however!
