Did you hear about Darren Goforth’s murder? A horrible tragedy, a disaster for his family. Yet crowds of people are already eager to use the murder to make some idiotic point about Black Lives Matter.
Once again, the need to massage reality into a familiar narrative rules the day.

The rhetoric I heard on CNN yesterday was sickening. In the face of tragedy, some demonstrators are repeatedly shouting slogans that seem to rejoice in the death of police officers, and seem almost intended to incite people to kill police officers.
I can only imagine the anger and/or fear this must cause as a natural human reaction for police. The possibility of a truly fearful outbreak of racial violence in some communities seems very real to me, for the first time in my life.

Horrible! I haven’t been watching TV but this sounds disgusting.
I find it tragic that the discussion about racism that seemed to be starting in the wake of Michael Brown’s death has been neatly directed towards the usual channel of pitting one group of people against others.
