Now the focus will be on police being shot and all will be forgotten about how we got to this point.
I grieve for all. Police and citizens. There is no surprise here, give every one a gun, let racism go unpunished, and continue down the road of income equality and here we are.
There must be an end to this insanity. Is it too late?

Things may escalate horribly, quickly. Or people may take a step back from violence. I don't know. I think it will be a turning point. But a turning point to where, I don't know. But I do know this: violence begets fear. And fear makes people irrational, and irrational, fearful people don't ever let go of their prejudices. Whoever did this made things worse, and I damn them for it.
