Schoolchildren on the Rioting
The events that caused the devastation in Los Angeles are causing mixed emotions all over the world. This is the opinion of a 14-year-old. I think the four police officers were wrong to beat on Mr. King, but I also think the looters and rioters were wrong. The riots and fires in our neighborhood didn’t solve anything. It just made matters worse than what they already were.
