18. I agree the need is urgent.

Right now the power structure tolerates the protests because they are not much of a threat. At some point, it will turn violent. One of our people out of frustration, sunstroke, previous mental instability or outrage over police abuse will do something violent. The police or the Nat. Guard will seize the pretext and respond with mass force.

Even if it were not so, I'm just wondering how popular desire for reform becomes actual reform. If it were simply a matter of voting for the right people, it would have happened in '09.
