But they rioted anyway, even after the cop was arrested and charged. They carried on rioting for another whole week. There's no "placating the mob" anymore.It's a simple matter of risk. Any interaction can escalate in a hurry, and choosing to use deadly force on a black male is going to wind up with you getting automatically fired and having to defend a murder charge so that the city can avoid 8+ figures worth of rioting damages.
It's funny ... we learned the hard way on September 11, 2001 that cooperating with airplane hijackers was no guarantee that we would survive the hijacking. In fact, we've since learned that it's better to go down fighting a hijacker over control of the plane than to cooperate and risk the hijacker using the plane as a missile.
I wonder how long it's going to take whites to learn to shoot the mob instead of giving into it.
