Hypothetical, marz: England becomes a country ruled primarily by blacks, and an all-black police force starts policing your all-white town. They do not treat you equally under the law, you are their first suspects when crimes are committed, and you are inherently unfavoured by the legal system and seen as a second-class citizen in your own town. One of these officers guns down your unarmed uncle Bumfuckington, who was enjoying a brisk stroll at the time. The courts find the officer not guilty, and you believe that this happened because of racial discrimination, about which you can do fock and all. How bad of an idea would rioting seem then? If it weren't Michael Brown who was gunned down, and was instead dear uncle Bumfuckington, would you react the same?
