A recent toxic political comment advocating that “All of us need to carry a gun for this country, it’s the fastest way to end police brutality,” promotes a dangerous solution to a serious issue. While the frustration with police brutality is valid, resorting to violence and encouraging widespread armament only escalates the situation.
The real path to ending police brutality lies in reforms, accountability, and improved relationships between law enforcement and the community. Violence will only lead to more harm and division. We must prioritize peaceful, systemic change through legal means and dialogue, not through calls for further violence.
