Some people are speculating that things will die down between now and whenever. But... you are compartmentalizing and merely factoring in this single incedent with Mike being murdered.
Like I pointed out, just this morning another unarmed black man was killed by cops in San Bernadino (Cali) and thats in addition to the mentally ill black dude LAPD killed a few days back. So even if this particular outrage coasts for awhile, assuming no appeasement or progress is perceived then the next outrage doesn't start over, it picks up where this one left off.
We are only here in part because of Mike, because keeping it a buck, the outrage would not be this far up on the meter had it not been for Trayvon Martin.
So really, just calming shyt down isn't gonna work indefinately. Unless concessions are made where people feel like something is gained, then the slightest thing like a white dude cutting off the wrong nikka in traffic might spark something way bigger than it should.
I think they realize at some level that they have to at least make it look like they are tryna do something to address the concerns of the black community just for their own safety and peace of mind. So something will be done, I feel.
Even going back to Donald Sterling. All that shyt factors in. People don't get emotional over one thing. It takes a whirlwind of bullshyt to stir folk up like this.
