Back to square one.
I grew up in an all white town. I actually had a friend in high school that was Puerto Rican but he moved to Lorain after a few months. But otherwise it was (and may still be) pure white bread. Anyway I played in the streets all the time...no police man ever told me to get out of the road although a few motorists got pissed off. Think about it kids play in the street all the time all across America. But the police in my town looked like me and probably lived in my neck of the woods so they most likely were not going to go ballistic if we screwed up.
I do not think you can say the same about the situation in Ferguson. If you think that those who you police are not the same as you (or as good as you) you will come to treat them accordingly. I mean just look at how the Ferguson department got out all of the 1033 gear. They would not have done that in Shaker Heights.
