Peaceful Demonstrations Still for DA's Decision in Tony Robinson Shooting

When the DA announced they were not charging the police officer, CNN had the story take up their entire homepage. So far the demonstrations have been peaceful. I hope they cover how smoothly the demonstrations are going, so far.
I think the demonstrators' focus on race is wrong, but they're right that there's a problem with policing. This isn't the best example of it because it involved someone who was tripping on shrooms, assaulting citizens, and who punched a cop hard enough to give him a concussion. I proud, though, to see no violence so far. I get the notion it's a lot of my parents' generation who sing "We shall overcome" at church. Madison is keeping its act together.
