If you think video of Michael Browns shooting would have squelched things, you might want to dust the turnip truck dirt off the seat of your pants.
Three investigations, including Holders DOJ could find nothing but a righteous shoot there ( old school terminology) and that didn't squelch things in the least.
Bottom line, they don't care about right or wrong and will seize any excuse, no matter on what thin ice it rests to riot, loot etc.
I think you are naive, and you no doubt think Im cynical-and not without reason. I have spent time on the street, and by your own admission, you have no desire to do so.
