Opinion: The conversation about police violence must continue


All opinions expressed in this article are solely the opinions of the contributors.

Any discussion about racism and policing in America is bound to generate heated discourse. Our society is bitterly divided already, but the issue of systemic racism is one that is especially combustible.

Good.

Because we must continue to talk about it. The death of George Floyd, the death of Daunte Wright, and other similar cases involving minorities killed by police cannot be ignored or dismissed as political causes. They’re not, and the conservatives who say that are simply trying to make the conversation about police violence go away.

We can’t let that happen.
