Mark my words... Zimmerman will walk.

59. I understand the line of thinking, but I guess I just don't see similar outcomes as very likely

The LA riots were decades in the making. There had long been a sense that the LAPD had been running wild and not being held to account for it. It was very much an LA thing too. People in LA had specific grievances against the police there.

Same thing with Cincinnati. There were very specific grievances against the Cincinnati PD as well that had been accumulating over a several years.

This strikes me as different. I think the grievances here are more abstract and diffuse. I just don't see it turning into riots. Like I said, you might see some scattered stuff here and there. But the major protest actions won't be looting and violence. They will be peaceful marches. I think cooler heads will prevail and people will keep it civil.
