If you want to look at motivation, better to look to the people who established the Ferguson PD as the enforcement arm of institutionalized racism, rather than those who point that out.
Motivation to kill? Moral, ethical and rational individuals do not kill innocent people doing their job. Ferguson diffeniently has problems, and racism is a two way street. Bring black does not justify criminal behaviour and bring white does not justify being oppressive.
Pointing out institutional racism and the policies that empower it is not racism, or race-baiting, or fanning the flames of racism, or any of the other bullshit smoke screens you apologists like to throw up.
I am not justifying violence in any way, shape or form.
But, if you want to find the motivation that ignites these communities to lash out, you need to go to the root cause - institutional racism, not the people who acknowledge it's existence and protest against it.
Lashing out with violence has a root cause.....amoral unethical behaviour. You are the one being an apologist. You are offering up reasons for criminally violent behaviour.
