Being a teenager is hard enough during normal times but is even harder today with the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and now the violence and looting occurring in major U.S. cities. People are taking advantage of the murder of George Floyd to loot and damage other people’s property. The actions of the four officers in Minneapolis doesn’t represent the good work done by many police officers in the United States.
These crises are made worse because the political parties won’t work together to address them. They are too focused on their own agenda to compromise for the benefit of the American people. The politicians today have strayed too far from what the Founding Fathers created.
