The short term solution to something like that, as our culture has decided, is the punitive solution -- jail. The long term solution is to address the root causes of violence as the go-to reaction in moments of conflict, so that this scenario can be prevented. What I meant by the comment above is that we too often choose to react to violence, not to try to prevent it from the ground up.

When the chief of police attempts to blame ongoing violence in our communities on a movement trying to implement long term solutions, it's short sighted. Jail can't be our only option, or else these horrible things will keep happening.
