Reading this article as a teenager made me made feel upset over the fact that our society hasn't changed and that people are still disregarding others for what they look like on the outside. I think a lot of people in our country and even around the world are tired of waiting around for change.

How are they keeping the protests under control even with the existing COVID-19 guidelines?

# data[].attributes.body
A question I have about these events is what is the federal government going to do about it?

# data[].attributes.body
Overall, I'm angry. At the fact that barely any governors have taken action to prevent racial injustice in the future. I'm also quite upset with the President's response, which was nothing other than going outside a church and holding a bible.

# data[].attributes.body
I would say that these events upset me as a teenager in today's society. It's not the action that upsets me but the reason behind them. The fact that these issues still exist when people have had plenty of time to get over them. I am glad though that this issue has been noticed.

I was so shocked to see how racism and discrimination is still in our lives. I can't believe that this is still going on, and I feel really angry that people will still judge other people and be racist.

# data[].attributes.body
These events make me sad because in the name of a man who was killed, instead of protesting peacefully and working with those who support them, the protesters are destroying property, endangering lives, and hurting each other. The police are also lashing out with violence and weapons when there is little or no need, instigating more violence.

# data[].attributes.body
These events make me feel that we can not trust the people in power in our government or police force. There have been so many murders by the police, and most of the police walk free. Our President denies there is a problem, so there is no way he will fix it. It is time to  stop asking for compromise and demand that there is change in the national budget, first amendment rights, and police training.

# data[].attributes.body

Watching that video of george Floyd being murdered by police, and watching the outrage afterwards make me understand why the black lives matter movement exists. Especially being a gen z, being in the generation of change or progressiveness and seeing everything that's happening being posted to social media makes the issue with police brutality seem a lot more prevalent. Watching the videos of protestors being shot at and having tear gas thrown at them has made me just as angry.

# data[].attributes.body
It personally makes me feel that we need to come together more as a community and destroy white supremacy, and other things along those lines such as antisemitism, and people like the president who were against Muslims, but if it it's done in a violent way, that's all people are going to think about. The violence.
