That is why economic policies aren't written by someone who's emotionally attached to the described event. There's probably no doubt that providing black people with education, universal healthcare and well-paid jobs will result in less violence and prejudice.

A death is a tragedy to someone, but the society can't miss forest for the trees, as somebody already mentioned here.

P.S. I'm not at all familiar with US mindset, but isn't making generalisations based on race("White people have lost their minds") racist as well?
