How Does This End?

Is another Charleston coming? That would complete the cycle. And then it would start all over again. Police suspicion of, hostility toward, ALL Black people, especially males; Black people besieged, suspicious of ALL police; cop shoots, kills unarmed Black man; besieged Black people protest ALL police; police besieged, attacked, increasing their suspicion of hostility to, ALL Black people; cop(s) executed; ALL police besieged, MORE suspicious, hostile toward ALL Black people; Black civilian(s) attack White civilian(s); White civilian walks into Black church, executes Black parishoners.

You can start that anywhere, that's the thing about cycles. Doesn't matter where you start it, all the bases will be circled anyway. Take where you are and stop it there. Doesn't matter what happened before to stopping it.

Don't know how to do that.

There ARE White cops out there who now are going to have itchier trigger fingers. There ARE Black men out there thinking of becoming snipers; there IS a White man out there now bent on revenge against Black people.

Don't know who they are; they'll be male. Don't know how to identify them positively. Don't know how to stop them.

Don't know how to end this.
