They might do it to just to make the point, but I doubt much of anything will stick unless they have him red-handed on video committing a serious crime. They can't CANX his pension for trespassing. Just because somebody dies in a riot, you don't get to charge ALL of the rioters with murder.
But yes, I suspect he's backpedaling.
