It takes more than just a white cop shooting a black individual to get the point of Ferguson. What got Ferguson going was the 24 hour news coverage.
A year or two ago, werent there two separate instances in like a one month period where white NOPD officers shot and killed black individuals? There were no riots or looting after that. There were no riots or looting in the instance where the white home owner in the Marigny shot the black kid, either.
To me, the difference is that the 24 hour news networks chose to take off running with the Ferguson situation. The constant publicity just makes things worse.
