Instead we get sensationalism and "us vs them" news coverage. Clearly we have institutional problems at a national level that need to be discussed and addressed. With every senseless death that occurs it feels like everyone with an agenda comes out of the woodwork and slants events to validate their world view. This prevents us from focusing on the actual issue fueling all this. We are being played on many levels by multiple forces and it saddens me to see people manipulated into justifying the inexcusable.
