Meanwhile, this is not Ferguson - here we have a black police commissioner, a black mayor.... but we have the same result. Supposed "Justice" in the form of looting, violence, burning.... But, wait!!! Al Sharpton is on his way to save the day. Everybody remembers how much calmer Ferguson got when he entered the scene, yes?
They need a WHOLE lot of prayer!

They will be recycled the next time riots break out in case you all forget, as they are in fact universally applicable. Rioting is one situation where a respect for democracy gets you nowhere, because the ultimate anti-democratic act is to fire into a crowd.
