Exactly. And that's what's made the police so extraordinarily dangerous. But the changes in Ferguson yesterday were tremendous. Changing the police force to more black officers, for example. There have been only peaceful protests ever since. But I'm not holding out hope. The one person in charge of the investigation of the death is saying the mayor and governor were out of line pulling out the all-white police force and replacing them--even though it was obviously the best decision made. Unfortunately, that doesn't bode well for the investigation, and I fear what will happen once that man concludes the investigation and announces his results.
