This too is changing. Especially in Baltimore, the political apparatus has realized that without intervention and harsh oversight, the population will riot and destroy the city. Thus, the officers involved in the Freddie Gray incident were indicted, and may go to jail.
I wish it hadn't taken a riot in Baltimore, but it's probable that there will be more riots before we get the kind of oversight that is needed.
In LA, when the Simi Valley jury acquitted the cops who were videotaped beating Rodney King, that would have been the end of the matter if the riots hadn't occurred.
