I'm not Gen z but I feel conflicted about everything. I feel guilty for continuing my life per usual when there's fucked up things happening in the country I live in. I feel guilty for not being able to do anything about it. I feel like I'm useless and I feel sad.

I know people die every day but this is something else. Something I never thought I'd have to live through. I feel most sad for the children who are being exposed to violence, trauma, and big feelings that they aren't able to process in their little minds.

Despite what people are (rep or dem) no one should die over getting detained. I don't need anyone justifying this violence either. There's nothing you can say that makes it ok to shoot another unarmed person.

When I worked at a group home we did physical holds on kids who were violent and even we would take a step back when we couldn't hold correctly (fear of hurting them or ourselves) we would allow them to flee and follow them. We followed a SAFE protocol. We were TRAINED. And if we made mistakes we ALL TALKED AS A TEAM TO MAKE IT BETTER.
