People don't tend to riot about this sort of thing unless they have run out of options and or patience.  I vaguely remember the race riots of the 70's.  It all seems to be the final expression of helplessness.  Of course then the idiots come along and loot.

Sports riots are when they run out of sense of course.

Sadly, that's not true anymore.  There are traveling agitators that instigate social unrest.  Sometimes they get things off the ground in a big way, and sometimes they don't.

Ferguson, for example...

I think the story about him having some sort of previous spine injury is not true

http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/bs-md-gray-settlement-20150429-story.html

He had been a plaintiff in a lead paint lawsuit which appears to be a local "thing you could call a scam if you were so disposed" but he there was no car accident or spine injury of any kind

Well, Mr Gray's death has now been ruled a homicide.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
