It gets a lot worse before it gets better. This country wasn't built upon peaceful protests. It was built upon blood. Only blood can bring about the change needed to right this ship.

This will not make it better. This will only anger the ignorant and fuel their fire to keep up the very practices you aim to get rid of.

I think standing up and protesting the right events will have a huge impact. I really do. If people would have the same size reaction for the New York case that the Ferguson case got, I would understand, and I think it would turn more heads and change more minds. That case was not life threatening for the officers involved and it was obvious. Ferguson was not nearly as clear cut, and the evidence has shown to multiple groups there was no wrong doing on the officer's part. Ferguson overshadowed other events in a bad way. They did not get the attention they deserved and therefore the message that could be learned did not reach the amount of people it could have.

When there is a complaint of profiling, but the person ends up actually being guilty of a crime, there is not going to be a legitimacy to the profiling complaint.
