Seems like our justice system worked--and without rioting and looting. I'm not sure why you say "Finally".

Having lived in the Detroit area for decades, I think maybe Detroit residents have learned a lesson from the results of their '67 riots (loss of population and property values and a decayed, crime-ridden, barely habitable, bankrupt city-- with almost no hope of recovery) and are reluctant to do a repeat. It is a lesson that the residents of Ferguson, Missouri are about to learn.
