As the world is beginning to reopen and the number of COVID-19 cases hopefully continues to decrease, returning back to a semi-normal life can be interesting to say the least. Going from sitting at home doing almost nothing for months, to working, seeing people, and participating in other normal activities feels weird and is a big transition.

We’ve seen this before: massive protests across the county in opposition to police brutality against Black Americans.

Activists and everyday Americans across the nation, and even in my small, rural home county, have taken to the streets to protest the now highly publicized issue of police brutality.

Lately, many have claimed that protests over the death of George Floyd that are turning into riots won’t change anything, and that they disrespect his death.
