    There is always a criminal element that will take advantage of any incident. The police delayed the Grand Jury decision until night time, when they thought the streets will be empty and no traffic. The expected marchers and protestors did stage their right to protest, and that is when the criminal element made their play. The two groups are not the same.

    The problem is that the atmosphere does not yet exist... in which an honest police officer can act... without fear of ridicule or reprisal from fellow officers. Police corruption cannot exist unless it is tolerated at the highest levels in the department. Therefore, the most important result that can come from these Grand Juries.. is a conviction of police officers then the department will change. In order to ensure this... an independent, permanent investigative body... dealing with police corruption is essential..

    Political correctness has taught the blacks that they can get away with anything if they cry racism. And they use this as a tool now to get whatever they want. Until we stop treating them like spoiled children, then will never grow up.

    Well, put it this way. If black people always acted like this, I would treat them the same way that cops -- as a policy -- treated them before. It's almost like a satirical take on themselves.

    Realistically though, it's probably just mob mentality.
