I think we can all recall sitting in an elementary school classroom as our teachers passionately preached “violence is not the answer!” As 10-year-olds, it is understandable that we could not quite comprehend what the phrase truly meant.

Or is violence burying a handgun in your backpack and hopping on the yellow school bus. Ironically, the place that we learned the mantra “violence is not the answer” became a breeder for the most violent of them all: shooters.

Abrams & Jordan Peele), HBO-all stars involved (“The Wire” and “Boardwalk Empire” star Michael K. Williams) and premise of the story gave me a glimmer of hope that HBO would continue their impressive streak of original shows airing in 2020. We’re in a content vacuum after all, and if I get 10 weeks of new programming this year — I’ll take it, no questions.

In exploring the endless titles for recommended viewing during quarantine I came across a recommendation for the FX crime drama "Justified." After binging the whole series in an unhealthy amount of time, I found that when I looked deeper, the series provides an interesting look into America’s police culture and when police are and aren’t justified.
Riots broke out at the end of the night on State Street again Monday, but it shouldn’t overshadow the 13 hours of peaceful protest demonstrated earlier that day.
