In the United States, anger surrounding the deaths of two black men at the hands of police last week sparked widespread protests nationwide over perceived ongoing institutional racism and discrimination. That anger boiled over into extreme violence against the police themselves in Dallas last Friday, when a lone black gunman targeted police officers overseeing a protest march - killing five and injuring seven. After this flare of tensions, President Obama insisted the country can overcome its racial divisions and rejected comparisons with the civil unrest of the 1960s. The question is for the vast majority of Americans, public and institutional alike, is there a will for change?
