The look at the rise in frustration and the punitive police response that is excessive, and adds fire to the fuel, is, as your interviewer so aptly put it, is a heating of powder keg that was about to explode. Continuous harassment of people, especially young people, who hang out on streets (because they are hot, they are jobless, they want to feel free and they consider the streets to be their public space) is something that is going to increase. In the US, much of the Midwest and the South, you don't see people at all. They are inside their homes, inside buildings, inside offices (or cubicles) and inside cars, segregated, separated, isolated and pushed into a corner. There are people in Florida who are arrested just for taking a walk in a predominantly white neighborhood or a rich neighborhood. Now this paranoia and punitive police mentality has spilled over to middle class neighborhood and suburbs. I know peopl who follow me around and harass me in Iowa...where White librarians whisper the word feminism, socialism and soon democracy as if it is a dirty word, and one that will evoke violence from the white boys in power. At least in England they are rioting. Here in the US we don't even challenge the mechanizations of security used to invade our privacy deeply.
