Rioters burned down the Wendy's. The female Chief of Police resigned as the police department experienced a severe case of "blue flu" when they heard the cops involved were going to be charged. The officer who shot Brooks was jailed and immediately terminated. His defense attorney got him out on bail, then went to court to get him his job back. The Civil Service Board said he'd been wrongfully terminated him and reinstated him. The prosecutor who was supposed to try the case lost his re-election bid, and a special prosecutor was assigned. As of March this year, that special prosecutor has retired, and no prosecution of the officer has yet occurred. The case is still in limbo.

In my view, such stories demonstrate that we are at a "tipping point" - that our society / the "System" is barely still functioning, but that it has nearly reached the point at which the Manichaean forces fighting for control will see power change hands.

"In my view, such stories demonstrate that we are at a "tipping point"..."

I totally agree with you. I'm just glad that I'm on the tail-end of my life, and hopefully won't live long enough to see this country totally go down the shit hole.
