Mike Brown and Freddie Gray and Eric Garner [[and ...) weren't outliers. Their deaths ignited massive protests because the communities they were a part of had endured a lot of abuse leading up to their deaths.

I don't have my ear to the ground in terms of Detroit police and their relations with the public. But it doesn't sound like the DPD has that kind of contentious, abusive relationship with Detroiters.

if I had to guess, I'd say the likelihood of rioting due to police misconduct is much higher in the suburbs. I'm remembering some recent incidents in Grosse Point, Inkster, and Warren. I can also imagine something going awry with all of the private security in the downtown area. But again, if there is a pattern of chronic misconduct, as a reasonably news-addicted Detroiter, I am not aware of it.
