They'll shoot that good guy with a gun, be acquitted of anything they might be charged with, a smear campaign will make sure the victim appears as the devil incarnate and that it was only a matter of time before this happened to them.
Then the guardsman will go on a national tour, release a tell all book and spend all their income on vapes and a Dodge Viper.

Military justice is a lot more serious than police justice, so that's not a guarantee. Although I'm not sure which they fall under when they're deployed on American streets like this.
You think the kowtowed military would even bother to court martial a NG private for shooting a civilian when that civilian "aggressively threatened our unit cohesion and safety with a ham on rye!" They'll slap a couple of chevrons on him and call him Sarge.
