The situation isn't as volatile as people are interpreting it. The cause speeds on but there is no overwhelming sense of outrage that is likely to lead to a riot. Riots happen for a combination of reasons beyond an incident of injustice. They usually are a culmination of discontent with underlying inequalities and social issues like joblessness, poverty, and racial antagonism and a particular incident provides the venue. The riot probably would've begun already if it was going to happen in the Bell case. And Sharpton has his faults but he's generally too responsible and political to incite a riot.

Out of respect for his "widow," child, and family the Bell situation is likely to be handled in a different fashion. Even Roc A Wear is allowing Nicole Paultre-Bell to speak out.
