SLIMANTICS A sickness in our society This morning, it was the first thing I saw when I went on the Internet: Five Dal- las police officers had been shot to death Thursday night as they provided security during a march against the police shooting deaths in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and St. Paul, Minnesota. It made me sick. Yes, I am sick. More specifically, I am sick of guns, and for more reasons than I can even count anymore.

I am sick of the pathetic rationalization of officer-involved shoot- ing deaths by saying the victims should have simply complied, but never suggest those who died at Ruby Ridge or Waco are at all culpa- ble because they didn’t simply comply. I am sick, no — I am appalled — that when a police officer shoots someone, we must debate about whether it was “a good kill.” LOCAL VOICES I’m sick of the undertone of racism in a country where a white man packing a .45 on his belt in Walmart is considered a “Patriotic American defending his Liberties” while a black man with a 9mm in the glove compartment of his car is considered a cold-blooded Moving the goal posts (again) murderer.
