"The answer to violence is love."

I wonder who writes the NYT editorials on the weekends...

No one wants to fall deeper into a grotesque cycle of grievance and vengeance, where all that grows is blindness and hate. The answer to violence is love...

Where have they been as America has changed dramatically over the past 13 years?

We are at war non-stop.
We greet violence as an opportunity to deploy our weapons.
Big Weapons... everywhere, it seems.

(You reap what you sow, and now that another tragedy is striking America at home in New York -- yes, this is an American tragedy, not confined to NYC -- now they are going to preach love? Odd. I wonder how far and for how long their newfound commitment will extend...)

Officers Ramos and Liu were patrolling in Brooklyn not to oppress but to serve and protect. Those who live and work in New York should unite in gratitude for their service and sacrifice, and commit themselves to a city where all feel safe. That is a movement everyone should join.

Good luck trying to re-bottle the hatreds and angry frustration stoked in recent months though. This is why, the words spoken now are a bit too little, too late. You have to be a pro-active thinker, or just smart, to see where the angry protests and fact-depleted narratives were taking us before someone deranged picked up on the ideas floated, and make them into a cruel reality for uninvolved others.

ie/Can the "What White People Just Don't Get" blather... Stop discriminating amongst us by race. Souls have no color.
