The people committing the violence were just opportunists using the Brown shooting as an excuse to behave bad and loot. I don't think there were too many law abiding citizens (who have been treated unfairly in the past by the police) that were looting and burning down buildings.

I am in no way, shape or form talking about the looters. I have no use for anyone who breaks the law.
what I'm discussing are those who live in the town, who have dealt with this issue for years.

I think how the police there handled the protests is a clear example of them doing their level best to escalate things in a hurry. the attitude in that department and city towards it's black population has been that way for years. resentment has built over a period of time, and they finally said enough.
