The LA riots was the result of the LAPD abdicating their duty to maintain order. Furgerson is the opposite end of the spectrum. But then again, for 60k a year, can you hire people who can make intelligent decisions?

At the turn of the century a failed discrimination lawsuit revealed that police forces make a point of NOT hiring intelligent people.I doubt that policy has changed in the last decade. (http://www.mintpressnews.com/can-someon ... op/192106/)
I'm glad that at least the Governor (or somebody in his staff more likely) had enough sense to see a trainwreck coming and take steps to stop it.
