1. That issue has been raised and suggested by the various groups.
2. Tearing up "white folks neighborhoods" might feel emotionally satisfying to you, but it's not going to get the movement anywhere. There's a lot of sympathy locally, even from traditionally conservative folks, towards the idea that Ferguson and working class black neighborhoods are over-policed and over-charged and over-fined in St. Louis. I think there is probably broad agreement that this is true. I think that there is agreement that something should be done to change that. I think that if the protest movement focuses on that issue, change is achievable here. If there is rioting, especially rioting that targets "white neighborhoods" that support is going to turn around and go the other way.
