The death in police custody last year of a violent
felon whose heart stopped while resisting arrest led to the worst rioting in
U.S. history.
It has also led to much soul-searching, as Blacks in America wonder if they can continue to live side-by-side with Whites.

What is the evidence for this surprising phenomenon?
To what could it lead?
