People have rioted and looted in Ferguson supporting an adult man who committed a robbery before attacking a police officer unprovoked.
Moreover, if the man was white, nobody would be protesting, and it wouldn't gain national attention.
If they want to protest against the police state as it currently stands, then I'm all for that, but that's not why they're protesting.
