The issue is that most of us have a lot to lose. We are building these retirements, we have families that we love dearly, and the idea that overall if we don't piss the law off too bad, we will be fine and all of our ****/assets/families/houses won't get taken away. I laugh at the hipster support, they are super "smart" (you can tell by their glasses and hair parts) but I doubt would set a cop car on fire. They have something to lose and are more than likely scared, pack mentality or not.
The average black rioting is on govt assistance (won't be takend away) parental or govt housing (won't get taken away, may be adjusted to prison, whatever) has no family per se (squirt a baby in a twerkin hoe, roll out) and therefore have nothing to lose. They have been brought up on rap where it is glorified to kill cops, not back down to authority, break laws, do drugs, **** hoes and so on. Put that with a pack mentality and what do they have to fear/lose.
Maybe this will illustrate that if you get a big enough group together the govt will stand down (the Cliven Bundy deal showed that as well, even if just temprarily). Maybe if it gets bad enough and enough liberties are taken we can all risk giving up all the stuff we have and take them back. I'd say we are years and years away from that. I just hope my boy is old enough to fend for himself before that day comes. Put 10 more years on him and teach him to shoot. I regretted having a kid when Obama was reelected. What have I brought a human life into, if the country was willing to do that. :-\
