Quote of the Day: Conflict Resolution Edition :: 08/16/2014

By Dan Zimmerman on August 16, 2014 - "The killing of Mr Brown did not happen because America's citizens or its police are too lightly armed, or too reluctant to believe they have a legitimate right to shoot someone in a disagreement.

It happened because America's citizens and its police are too heavily armed, and too quick to believe they have a legitimate right to shoot someone in a disagreement. It happened because Americans are losing the talent for solving social conflicts by building responsive institutions, and are instead embracing video-game fantasies of solving social conflicts through violence." - Economist editorial, Guns, police and the people [www.economist.com]
