Could it happen again? Ferguson, MO wasn't that long ago. You bet it could happen again.
Now there is social media to plan the Riots. Faster, bigger, anywhere.

The best way to ensure against riots, would be for LE to do a better job in vetting more qualified police officers.
It would also be of great significance for law schools and courthouses to better identify lawyers and judges with extreme political views that prevent them from reaching balanced and equitable decisions.
As we as American citizens continue to maintain our Republic, we must do so with the unrelenting and continual thought that we shall overcome our prejudices and hatred for one another.
Our civilzation can only be sustained by our consistent desire to improve upon ourselves collectively. Since every community and all ethnic groups have their own strengths and weaknesses, we should all work together in order to highlight those strengths and eliminate those weaknesses, once they've been identified.
IMO
The only way to make the greatest overall wholesale sweeping improvement across the entire nation would be to totally reconstruct our educational system.
No student should be able to graduate without also having some form of specialized training in some skill needed by our society. Instead of receiving a HS diploma, a student will instead receive an associate's degree in the field in which they were trained.
The first four years of post secondary schooling (education after high school) should be free, ad long as you can maintain a 3.0 GPA. Therefore, all bachelor degrees should practically be free via governmental subsidies.
If for any reason, an American citizen by the age of 20 yrs. has not attained an associate's degree and hasn't been making any progress towards attaining such a degree, then they should automatically be involuntarily placed into the military for no less than 2 yrs. During this time of service to our country, they will also be in training for an associate's degree, as well.
Once a person obtains an associate's degree outside the military, they can then register to join a work crew. A crew that routinely works on a daily basis for either their county, state, or federal government, until they're able to find gainful employment via private employers. Until such time, they should receive some form of monetary compensation for governmental crew work.
Everyone regardless as to their level of income
should have equal access to Health-care
If we can make certain that these things are accomplished, along with the assurance of treating all Americans equally, then we should all feel much safer in our country wherever we venture and with whomever we chose to interact.
That's without guns and without any riots!
