Writer Pitt raises an interesting point about protesting, Where do we learn it? Other than a quick brush with a few chapters from a book of history, one has no formal classes to apply for or to attend. Only stories from yesterday or of events from a by-gone day. Tales of the events of a past due, or a trial and error of experiences. Now on display in a museum or stone like statue.
Parents generally don't instruct their children on protesting, much-less civil

Conservatively speaking? It leaves them with a pending State of Emergency in Ferguson, Missouri, that's being called ahead of any real or actual people protesting ... and solely just because of that political notion of, "What if?"
Leaving us to ponder ... what happens if I just cross the street on my way home ... Will I be viewed as something I am not? Or will I be left free, to post (Twitter or Facebook) my dissatisfaction with another legal process that (once again, predicatively) hides away the truth or for an actual remedy to simple everyday abuse by one, toward another...
