Harm to national discourse. Nothing melodramatic about that at all. We can’t talk to each other anymore. Like it or not these shootings affect us on a societal level. It’s stops being solely about the crime the minute it hits the airwaves. We have a problem with tribalism.

Again, I agree with you completely about letting the justice process run its course and being patient till then.

But I refuse to be dismissive and pre-determinant about race by saying there’s no evidence when there are still avenues along that line to investigate. Questions that need answering. That’s the flip side of the same damn coin.

The victims, their families, and the community deserves better than hasty conclusions that hijack the narrative by one tribe and gaslighting that stifles and stunts a proper and full accounting by the other.

I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree.
