when a society feels it isn't being heard regarding oppression, violence is next

Yep. The problem though is that revolution is a singularity event. There is no way to predict what the end results will be. Other that a lot of people dying needlessly. Which is why it is smart to address the issues before hand.

Naturally, we have been making the situation even worse. We are but a Ferguson or two away from triggering a revolution...

Which is not to say the trigger would be a cop shooting someone, although that can do it. But some incident that gets national attention and puts a focus on the populations feelings of oppression, marginalization and dissatisfaction.
