We shouldn't be surprised that masses of incensed residents of black Ferguson marching peacefully through their own streets in protest of sub-human treatment would trigger abject fear in the hearts of Ferguson's nearly all white police department.
It creates feelings of awe in the hearts of loyal subjects and thus supports the «godness» of God, but these feelings are balanced by others of abjectfear and humiliation: in this picture, God can be God only if we are nothing.
