In all honesty, has the city of Ferguson destroyed itself?

Just curious if anyone thinks life will go back to normal over there. Seems like police will never be able to do their job with the amount of negativity the media is shoving in our face. The citizens seem to protest everyday. And most of the city has burn destroyed by rioters.
What does the OT think?

Not without some gentle prodding from your friendly DOJ officials.

Wrong. The citizens aren't protesting. Paid protesters from outside the area are protesting. The citizens hate the attention and quite frankly they hate the Brown family. They know that a straight up thug got shot for attacking a police officer, and the racial spin from the justified shooting has destroyed the town they were once proud to live in.
Make no mistake...Ferguson was one of the better mostly black towns in St. Louis. It was middle class working blacks trying to raise their family in a respectable place.
But of course the thugs win again and their uneducated actions have setback their community so far that it may be too far gone at this point.
Sad.

pre paid cell phone store, knock off polo store, and rent to own wheel stores will always thrive there.

According to the latest reports something like 70% of all citizens homes have been destroyed within the city limits.
Reports of at least a million people trapped in the Superdome are floating around.

Apparently, the ferguson PD is the problem. They should just pull out and let the citizens take care of themselves.
Let's check back in a year and see how that pans out.

I think it's safe to say they didn't do themselves any favors as far as attracting businesses and new permanent residents. That's much more important in determining their future than police effectiveness IMO, but that will hurt also.
I'm sure there wasn't a lengthy waitlist to move to Ferguson anyway, but whatever they did have to offer has pretty much been cancelled out.
Seriously, who the hell would want to move to Ferguson?
