Have riots ultimately helped or harmed civil rights?

19. Considering the carnage and brutalization perpetrated by police against minorities, admitted

'torture centers' the racist policy of 'Stop and Frisk' in NYC, the voter suppression, the fear of the police to the point where AA mothers have to try to teach their young boys how to be submissive when harassed by the police, in order to survive, the fear of even College Students to walk to school in case they meet a PO, considering all that, there have been VERY FEW RIOTS/UPRISINGS.

5,000 dead by cop over ten years, how many riots/uprisings?

And that doesn't include those beaten so badly they are disapbled for life, those wrongfully accused and the torture centers where minorities were beaten and tortured etc.

I can only remember two.

People protesting peacefully are not riots. Ferguson Protesters were brutalized by the aptly named Riot Police.

So what should an oppressed people do to change things? No one seems to care about all the activist programs to try to get some justice over the years.

I'd like to hear some suggestions where this outrageous criminal behavior by the police and authorities can get the same kind of attention Baltimore is getting now because of the burning of a store?

I KNOW that AAs would much prefer to have this kind of coverage of all the actions they have taken, all the peaceful protests, all the murders by cop, but most Americans don't even know about them.

I follow the actions for equal rights that are going on every day on twitter and elsewhere. If I was depending on the media, I would have thought that Ferguson was 'over' when that is far from the case.

How do you get from under these terrorist actions against your children by those with the authority to do it without consequences, who do you go to report the crimes?

What IS the solution?
