Don’t glorify killers

For the last month or longer we have had way too many tragic killings. I have heard some folks say Donald Trump is to blame or that President Obama is to blame. In my opinion, it is the media who are the culprit.

After the Florida shooting, the papers negatively glorified the alleged killer. The same thing has happened with the five Dallas police officers. We learned a whole lot in information about the shooters but very little about the victims.

How about writing articles about the five police officers who were killed and put them on the front page instead of the killer? Another thing, do not give the name of the culprit or anything about his life.
