With the businesses that were raped and the violence that goes on in that section of the city I have no hopes for anything good coming out. The cops that patrol will end up being rookies that need a job and may go in with a healthy outlook but the community spirit that the protesters try to embody may be overwhelmed by the gang violence that will certainly be emboldened by the righteous condemnation and vilification of the peacekeepers.
Its a mess and can only get worse as more businesses leave for better stomping grounds. The tax base will drop and any homeowners will see devastation in their accumulated equity. Real estate values will drop and schools if not already affected will produce more resentment.
As soon as the government starts messing around with the situation ( which will be a day late and a dollar short) we will see some real idiocracy. What needs to happen is the thugs and the bad cops both need to be purged. But in our litigious society it will take more time than Ferguson has.
