You're like the guy who defends Obama by saying Bush sucked....
Everyone knows that blacks, whites and browns don't riot....stupid people riot. If you see a racial element to that, it says a lot more about you.

Even Edmonton rioted the last time they went to the finals 8 long years ago.
Poor Toronto, all they get to riot over is the G20 conference. They'd kill to have a hockey riot these days.
Of course in Quebec they'll riot over pretty much anything, but they're french and they call it protesting. I think their last one was over raising tuition fees at the universities.
Same thing would have happened in Ferguson, IMO.
3,000 Troops Put Down Mississippi Rioting
And Seize 200 as Negro Attends Classes;
Ex-Gen. Walker is Held for Insurrection
Shots Quell Mob
Enrolling of Meredith
Ends Segregation
in State Schools

Special to The New York Times
OXFORD, Miss., Oct. 1 -- James H. Meredith, a Negro, enrolled in the University of Mississippi today and began classes as Federal troops and federalized units of the Mississippi National Guard quelled a 15-hour riot.
A force of more than 3,000 soldiers and guardsmen and 400 deputy United States marshals fired rifles and hurled tear-gas grenades to stop the violent demonstrations.
Throughout the day more troops streamed into Oxford. Tonight a force approaching 5,000 soldiers and guardsmen, along with the Federal marshals, maintained an uneasy peace in this town of 6,500 in the northern Mississippi hills.
[There were two flareups tonight in which tear gas had to be used, United Press International reported. A small crowd of students began throwing bottles at marshals outside Baxter Hall where Mr. Meredith was housed. They were quickly dispersed by tear gas. Soldiers also broke up a minor demonstration at a downtown intersection.]
200 Are Seized
The troops seized approximately 200 persons.
They were seated in the mobs of students and adults that besieged the university administration building last night and attacked troops on the town square this morning.
Among those arrested was former Maj. Gen. Edwin A. Walker, who resigned his commission after having been reprimanded for his ultra-right-wing political activity. He was charged with insurrection.
The university's acceptance of Mr. Meredith, a 29-year-old Air Force veteran, followed Gov. Ross R. Barnett's retreat from his defiance of Federal court orders that the Negro be enrolled.
The 64-year-old official, a member of the militantly segregationist citizens Councils, had vowed he would go to jail if necessary to prevent university desegregation.
Mr. Meredith's admission marked the first desegregation of a public educational institution in Mississippi. It reduced the Deep South bloc of massive-resistance states to two - Alabama and South Carolina.
Although the step brought an apparent end to the most serious Federal-state conflict since the Civil War, its cost in human lives and bitterness was the greatest in any dispute over desegregation directives of the Federal courts.
Two men were killed in the rioting, which broke out about 8 o'clock last night after Mr. Meredith had been escorted onto the campus by the marshals.
The victims were Paul Guihard, 30 years old, a correspondent for Agence France Presse, and Ray Gunter, 23, a jukebox repairman from nearby Abbeville, Miss.
The number of injured could not be determined definitely. But Mr. Guthman told newsmen 25 marshals had required medical treatment. One of them, shot through the neck, was reported in critical condition.
A military spokesman said 20 soldiers and guardsmen had been injured, none of them seriously.
Dr. Vernon B. Harrison, director of the Student Health Service, said between 60 and 70 persons, including some marshals, had been treated at the university infirmary.
Others who were wounded or were burned by exploding tear-gas grenades obtained aid from local physicians or from Army doctors who moved into the infirmary last night.
