Growing without Parents Sometimes I don’t understand why people take their parents for granted. I see that not everybody appreciate what parents do in order to get what you want or what are your needs. I just don’t understand why?

In my opinion‚ violence as a form of protest isn’t an eective tactic. It is subjective. A riot is de$ned as a violent disturbance of the peace by a group of people. In the Kimani Gray article‚ people originally used the hash tag “#BrooklynRiots” to describe what was occurring‚ however it was later changed to “#Brooklynprotest”.
