Over the last year or so, there have been many tragedies to befall the country. Innocent people getting killed by police, police getting killed by people angry at the police, riots, shootings, etc. And just looking at these events, you see how people deal with tragedy in different ways.
Take the shootings that have been committed by police. Some people chose to show their grief and sadness by peacefully protesting or expressing themselves through art, music, and writing. Other people let their grief lead to anger, and commit equally heinous acts of violence in revenge. And other people get together and remember the people who were killed so that those people can live on in memory. And I'm sure there are countless more ways that people react and grieve. And there are some people who don't at all, instead holding in their feelings (or not having any feelings about these incidents at all).
When a tragedy happens, while most feel sad about it, everyone reacts to it in a different way and it shows how diverse our country is and how deeply these things can affect us. And just like the numerous other tragedies that have happened in the past, these current ones will pass, although we will remember them and discuss them for years to come.
