It's pretty much a name-your-city thing for unarmed civilians killed by cops. In a few places, like the most recent Dallas sniper murders of five police officers, it's the opposite.

Whether it was the 20 elementary kids or hundres of young Black men or those LEOs, each was supposedly the death(s) that would change it all. Let's talk today:

  • Shall we outlaw military, mass-murder weapons for civilians?
  • Will police departments, prosecutors and judges stop shielding rogue cops?
  • Can we tunnel down to the underlying unemployment, bad schools and other factors causing unrest in the underclasses?
  • Can the horrors of Dallas be a catalyst for itrospecxtion by legeislators, LEOs and others in the chain?
  • Can we finaly begin reforming law enforcement and the rest of the criminal justice system?
  • Can we give the poor and most people of color reason to respect and work with cops?
  • Can we mmigrate to massive cultural changes in this crisis?

I can look at that (pardon the pun) bullet-point list and think, "Oh, how anti-police." Instead, let's get real on this show, as usual. Only a miniscule minority would want a race war (think NYPost and Klan creeps). Are we finally at our Basta! moment?
