Is the pot melting?

Like many others across the globe Thursday, I couldn’t help but stay glued to my mobile device and television trying to comprehend the senselessness of the ambush that claimed the lives of five Dallas Police officers. 

With each passing moment, social media and the ever-present 24-hour news cycle continued to paint a tragic and heartbreaking scene. 

How a group of snipers positioned above a peaceful Black Lives Matter protest, which showcased the epitome of democracy at its finest, gunned down Dallas Police and Dallas Area Rapid Transit officers protecting that group. How officers and citizens alike tried desperately to avoid becoming victims, sprinting for cover as best they could in the many cell phone video coverage that’s been played.
