If a manifesto or social media of Dallas killers show up, please media, don't put it on loop. Don't feed this cycle. They represent no one.

Cycles of violence are linked to publicity around last one. If a manifesto exists, the killer wanted wall-to-wall coverage for it. Don't.

On social media, people no longer share ISIS beheadings widely. We learned not to publicize murder done for publicity. We can and do learn.

Need people for wall-to-wall media? Invite Black Lives Matter activists. They're horrified & grieving. Give them a voice, not these killers.

I follow a lot of corners of social media for work. It's scary. There is a lot of incitement going on. Some loon with an AR-15 is watching.

For the sake of stopping these killings, preventing reprisals, and achieving actual reform, I hope sanity steps up, and is given a chance.

Incitement isn't just from the loon corners of social media. What a horrible, irresponsible cover. Shame on

NO, NO. If you can't stop this from happening, suspend serving news on the topic. This can get someone killed. https://twitter.com/billmon1/status/751430639585468416 …
