This is from Charlie LeDuff - A white cop kills an unarmed black teen in the heart of America. First comes the riot and looting. and then comes marshal law. But with the whole world watching, the police pull out. And for an afternoon it's a victory for the black side of St. Louis - a place short on wins. Then evening falls. With police nowhere to be found, a band of black marauders loots Ferguson, Missouri once again. Here in the mayhem of Ferguson is a remarkable scene. a remarkable man. A young black man. We have nothing to add to this story except an opinion: We choose to believe he is who we really are in America, or what we can, and ought to be.
