Sadly, yet again violence, bloodshed and death grip our nation.

The deaths of the officers in Dallas who were performing their duty and protecting the vital right to freedom of speech and protest are heartbreaking tragedies of similar proportion, and I am reminded of the words of Martin Luther King, Jr.

— “Violence as a way of achieving racial justice is both impractical and immoral. It is impractical because it is a descending spiral ending in destruction for all. The old law of an eye for an eye leaves everybody blind.

It is immoral because it seeks to humiliate the opponent rather than win his understanding; it seeks to annihilate rather than to convert.” T
