    We need rapid, real de-escalation and we need it right now. We cannot descend into the chaos of violence. Please everyone, stay safe.

        The problem with calls for de-escalation is that there is a leadership vacuum at the top. The fact that Trump is a buffoon who is toxic to 55% of the country makes it impossible for him to call for calm.

        What can a leader say at a moment like this. One example is Robert F. Kennedy, telling a crowd of supporters that Martin Luther King was assassinated. It's short and worth watching: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bDlET_gK68 …

        Seems like the police are the ones escalating in every hot spot, rolling in with riot gear and firing riot weapons unprovoked, and now this.

        Even in "liberal" cities, police forces are rife with neo Nazis. Nothing can deescalate when we're empowering that kind of person with authority, immunity, and lethal weapons.
