Do. Nothing. Because then you have to write another piece about why so many policemen were gunned down.
Racism doesnt kill people.
Guns do.
Stop guns.
All lives matter
Dear Stop It,
Racism does kill. It kills hope. It kills communities.
It pulls the trigger of the guns that kill.
Guns, racism. We can do without both.

Sorry @stop, but “Racism doesn’t kill people” may be the single dumbest thing that has ever been written on this blog.
I wouldn’t be so quick to insult the intelligence of @Stop. Racism is merely a state of thinking; it takes ready access to the object called a gun to turn that thought into mass murder.
Stick and stones (and guns) will break my bones.
But names will never hurt me.
@James..you are the single dumbest ass on this. But my comment wont hurt you. A bullet will.
Go away you simpleton
I am pretty sure racism does in fact kill people. It’s killed people in almost every country throughout history. The instruments used have been different: gas chamber, burning cross, bayonet,piece of rope gun. These are just instruments- and I agree they should be controlled and banned if possible. But you cannot be so naive as to say “racism doesn’t kill people, guns kill people”. If it wasn’t a gun, it would be something else. The thing that drives these terrible atrocities is a state of mind of the individual. We need to fix that as a priority.
