I agree that that demographics likely play a part in the degree and types of protesting that are underway.
It may well be that had the horse thief been black and living in a predominately black community, we'd be seeing more public assembly protests.
I also think if Pusok had died and/or if Pusok lived in an urban area, there would be more people gathering in-person, in addition to all of the people currently protesting on social media and by phone. SBPD claims that the latter types of protesting and threats are keeping them from releasing the names of the officers involved.
Pusok is supposed to appear in court today. I'm kinda anxious to see if the hearing will be open to the public and, if so, what kind of shape he's in.
