Since this topic is posted in the "political conspiracies" forum, perhaps politics is the problem.
1. Laws are created by politicians that make things illegal.
2. Police "enforce" those laws by looking for "violators".
3. The court systems are created by politicians.
4. Jails are created by politicians.
So in order for the above to thrive, authoritarian policies must be amplified.
Find the political and social theories that make all of the above possible and we might discover some reasons for what we see.
How does "protesting" fit into this?
Perhaps its what happens in between the steps list above?

I think with most protest there are outsiders who just want to come in for the trouble thrill seeking element as opposed to the actual cause that the protestors are trying to obtain. and I think with Ferguson if you look deep you can see that they were people (Black people) who were trying to protect the business 's there. that's where you get to see who is really in the community and not a fake person. because they know that harming a business will set the community back instead of moving forward.
So I don't know if this hurt black people but I saw some real black people stand up for their community not the fake sterotype that is touted through the media.

I get what your meaning with provacatuers and all that but philosophically most protest are not spontaneous usually that have an organization to it at least a day ahead of the protest

The more violent the protests, the more harm it is doing to the cause.
These issues tend to get out of hand due to a small group of trouble makers and police taking on a zero tolerance.

There is no force on earth that kills the black community faster than the black community.
