Change Is Not Necessary

Assuming Wilson is not indicted, and his actions are declared legitimate, why would there be need for discussion and change?

If he didn't do anything wrong, he didn't do anything wrong. Do people honestly think there is going to be a push from the powers that be, to change things and work on current conditions? Doubtful.

They don't really think anything was done incorrectly, so why in the world would they feel compelled to change things?

The lack of impact of any events in Ferguson should tell us that the powers are entrenched and unyielding.

It'll take a far more powerful series of events to change policy in any meaningful way.
