The country was hit by a storm of emotions, not just snow, after the recent events in Minneapolis. People everywhere were glued to their screens, watching the chaos unfold. Protesters and police faced off, tear gas filled the air, and once again, a video showed a person shot by a federal agent.
The government's story didn't match what many people saw. They called the person killed a "domestic terrorist. " But others weren't so sure. The video told a different story.
The news overshadowed everything else, even the big football games. It felt like a turning point, a moment that made people think about what the country is all about. No matter where you were, Minneapolis felt close to home.
In Georgia, a teacher braced for tough questions from students. In Indiana, the news put a damper on a birthday celebration. In Iowa, a couple argued about what happened while out with their son. And in Wisconsin, a Trump supporter shook her head at what she saw as protester foolishness.
The snow may have covered the ground, but it couldn't hide the deep divide in the country. People were left wondering, what's next?
