Ferguson's police chief, city manager quit -- but is that enough?

http://www.cnn.com/2015/03/12/us/ferguson-fallout/index.html

Ferguson's police chief, city manager, and the top court clerk are gone. Are these high-level changes enough to satisfy all residents? Absolutely not, they say. Protesters assembled in front of the Ferguson Police Department on Wednesday night, demanding the entire force be disbanded and calling for Mayor James Knowles to step down. During the protests, two officers were shot (one in the face, the other in the shoulder). They were hospitalized in serious condition but it is not clear who the shooter was.

This relates to what we are doing in class because we are talking heavily on the Bill of Rights and the first amendment gives the right to assemble. Although, this assembly is not peaceful, the government there has been somewhat taken over by the citizens and authorities don't have enough power to do anything about it!

I disagree with this topic. Ferguson is getting a bit hot under the spotlight and think that they are the only city that has to go through these circumstances when it is also the rest of the United States too. This has all gone too far and this issue should be solved ver soon into the near future.
