Race Riot Concerns

Death of 17-year-old boy who was shot in the head as he sat HANDCUFFED in the back of police car sparks angry riots

• A vigil was held Thursday for a teen who died in police custody in Durham
• Jesus Huerta, 17, died of a gunshot wound to the head while handcuffed in the back of a police car last month
• He had been arrested on second degree trespassing charges
• Police say he shot himself but family and friends are demanding an federal investigation
• The supporters marched for Huerta in Durham's downtown area then towards the police department
• Police used tear gas, smoke bombs and batons to disperse the protesters
• At least six people were arrested
• Protesters say police used unnecessary force; the police chief says officers showed restraint

This has potential similarities to the London riots, if you live/work in heavily hispanic areas and don't fit in you need to be aware of the potential for this to spiral into national race riots.

I'm absolutely not condoning the actions of the police in this case but if this gets out of hand rioters will not be bothering to stop and ask if you're a libertarian.
