They showed this shooter's Youtube video, basically he said he doesn't believe protesting solves anything, the only thing that does (according to his world view) is money or violence. He has a pretty nihilistic world view. 

Alton Sterling's aunt was on TV in tears pleading with people to stop the killing.

Sad. We need more love in the world. My hope is that the relationship between the black community and the police can be rebuilt brick by brick with more mutual respect and understanding, better training and more open and frank interface with the community, it's the only way this will get better. 

I don't think it's enough to improve the police, I think it's the whole society we live in, inequality in the USA is one of the highest in the world, the disadvantaged will push back violently if nothing changes, they have nothing to loose any more, it's already all taken away from them

I disagree with that. It's completely false. There's many places in the world where shit is far worse in terms of inequality. India and pakistan are good examples of it. It's just an excuse for most of them here to steal, hurt people and run wild. If this group of people wanted to seriously change things in positive ways for themselves and others, they would go to school to get into careers that influence society or better yet become cops to prove how it's done in a positive way. Violently protesting and hurting others only takes away the clout of their message and gives credence to their opposition's points. Frankly, they're extremely hypocritical about racism as a whole and their issues are overrepresented in comparison to other minorities. A fair number of 'em have a warped sense of entitlement.
