Charles Blow: ‘We Are Living with Some Level of Ambient Terror’

‘There are people in minority communities who feel like they are victims of ambient terror’

BLOW: "I think that what we are doing right now in America is we are all living with some ambient level of terror. That people feel like there are people in minority communities who feel like they are victims of that ambient terror. I believe that police officers can legitimately make the case that they are also -- feel some ambient level of terror. And that is, I think, what we as Americans have to kind of step back and say, we don't want a society in which everybody is living with an ambient level of terror. And that has to stop."
