4. A lot will happen, some good, some bad...

...I think it probably will be contingent upon events. I personally feel like I'm waiting for the next shoe to drop. If there's more shootings, more bloodshed, maybe an assassination, if the far right Tea Party/Limbaugh assholes continue to stoke racial fires...then nothing good will come of this. Nothing at all. If we're lucky enough to get a respite from the violence, then maybe some dialogue between the police and the minority populations will begin, and we can make *some* progress. I do know this--if White America continues to regard the police as police, and Black America keeps regarding the police as an army of occupation, this country is doomed.
