After the announcement from the grand jury, Starr, who had always steered clear of the riots, adopts the attitude that if the police don’t seem to care about African Americans, then she won’t care about the police. This is a continuation of the overwhelming anger that Starr felt when she fought Hailey. The discontent is so great that it can’t be contained without physical expression; Starr feels the need to do something even though the atmosphere is dangerous.
