Rodney King Police Brutality
Four officers were charged with the merciless beating of Rodney King. For the first time the world got to see what it was like to be a victim of brutality? King suffered extensive and painful injuries, to include head and face trauma, skull fractures, and nerve damage. The recorded video was powerful evidence against the worst type of police brutality. This event not only proved that some police officers abused their power but also reinforced the distrust between some minority communities and law enforcement. People from all walks of life and different races all waited to see what would happen to the officers involved. As many people predicted if the officers involved were not found guilty of assault and other civil liberties violations

    Kenya Downs Police Brutality Summary

    Adetiba and Almendrala’s article details the traumatic side effects to viewing videos of police brutality, focusing specifically on its impact on Black people. While discussing the side effects, which are similar to that of post-traumatic stress disorder, the authors explicate the reasons as to why the Black community is particularly vulnerable to these symptoms. Citing a psychologist, the authors explain that since the majority of these videos feature Black victims, Black viewers see themselves as the victims, resulting in feelings of anxiety and danger. Although this article presents the downside to these videos, the authors offer an opposing viewpoint, explaining the political benefits to the videos of police brutality. The author notes…

    California Highway Patrol Case Study

    In the early 1990’s there was an incident that happened in Southern California that rocked the city of Los Angeles. The incident involved California Highway Patrol and the Los Angeles Police Department, and a civilian named Rodney King. “According to official reports, the car’s two passengers quickly and lay on the ground as instructed. But, when the driver King, finally emerged from the car, his bizarre behavior and spotty compliance with police orders led officers to believe he was drunk, or high on PCP.” (Falkenrath and Rosegrant, 2016) This led to the use of a stun gun, and then the use of batons striking King more than two dozen times. These events would have probably been swept under the rug with the exception that another citizen was…

    MIKE B

    On August 9,2014 , The world was sent in to a tailspin when an unarmed black teen named Mike Brown was shot seven or eight times and was shot at 12 times by Darren Wilson, a white Ferguson police officer. This started riots in Ferguson, Missouri and all over the United States of America. Darren Wilson was not indicted for shooting .This also brought up the age old question, “Does police/society care about black lives.” Maybe the first time this question was with Rodney King, an American construction worker who became nationally known after being beaten by Los Angeles Police Department officers following a high-speed car chase on March 3, 1991.This vicious attacks was recorded by a local witness in sent into KTLA. Like the Mike Brown, this sparked riots around Los Angeles and all around America. But unlike the Mike Brown case the four officers was charged with assault with a deadly weapon and excessive force. Another case is the case of Oscar Grant, who shot in the back while handcuffed by a BART police officer. Like the first two case it started riots all over America but like the Mike Brown case the officer was not indicted .…

    Racial Discrimination In Dr. Martin Luther King's Letter From Birmingham Jail

    In the past year there have been multiple cases of “racial discrimination” against the police, these cases have been associated with police brutality. Segregation and racial prejudice was a large part of the history in the United States but not in a positive way. Many Americans are not proud of the way the African Americans were treated by their fellow citizens. Prejudice and racial discrimination are prevalent today in both the same and different ways as when Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. fought against it. In Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “Letter From Birmingham Jail,” he uses periodic sentences, syntax, diction, and allusions to write about his beliefs about the immense struggles African Americans experienced to gain their rights, how he…

    Rodney King Analysis

    The officers at the did not know that an innocent bystander was recording the entire thing. By the next day the film was sold to the local news and was broadcasting nationwide. Everything was exaggerated by the media, to the point that political leaders were getting involved in support of Rodney King. The cops were charged of being guilty of civial rights violations, all other charges were drop. A riot broke out, so they called for a second trial and found Officer Powell and Officer Koon guilty but Officer Briseno and Wind were clear of all charges again. After the riots they also gave Rodney $3.8 million in a civial case. The Rodney King case is a start of policy bruitality and a classic in that area. Another case where the police were found innoncent was with Abner Louima, he was a 30 year old man haitian immigrant with no criminal record. In front od a night club in Brooklynn, New York on August 09, 1997. Abner was arrested after the police broke up a fight.

    Rodney King

    Rodney King was allegedly pulled over for speeding at a rate of speed as high as 110 mph on the night of March 3, 1991. An amateur cameraman by the name of George Holliday videotaped King being beaten by four white Los Angeles Police Officers who were later identified as Lawrence Powell, Timothy Wind, Theodore Briseno, and Stacey Koon. The four officers alleged that Rodney King was pulled over for traffic violations and that King appeared to be intoxicated and that he also was being disobedient by not staying on the ground as he was ordered to do by the officers. King was also tasered twice by the officers but he still continued to try and get up, which the officers claimed made them begin to strike King with their police batons for nearly 2 minutes (Anonymous, 2011).…

    Rodney King

    Initially, I did not have that much knowledge of the Rodney King beating. I have heard of the event on multiple occasions and the brutality that came about after the trial verdict. I only had knowledge of King being an African American man who was beaten by white officers. I didn’t know he was speeding and that it led to a police chase. As to the riots, I had known of the protests and the violent outbreaks against the verdict of the officers. Hearing of Los Angeles people stand up against such a case as King’s gave me a good feeling. I strongly disagree with any form of prejudice acts and knowing that people from such a mixed city stood against it as well made me happy.…

    Policing: Police and Criminal Justice

    During the 1960’s Police Brutality was at an all time high. Police were being biased and attacked those that they did not like because they had the power to do so. On March 3, 1991 when Rodney King and his friend Bryant Allen were driving in Los Angeles, they refused to stop for an officer trying to pull them over. Instead they increased their speed and when the Police finally stopped the car they viciously beat King for a period of two minutes. He was left with 11 skull fractures, brain damage, and kidney damage. The police officers did not realize though that their actions were being videotaped. They were eventually tried and found not guilty by an all white jury. This set off 6 days of rioting and the case prompted an era of reform. In the book, “Essentials of Criminal Justice” written by Larry Siegel, it notes some of the things done by Police Departments to make sure that Policemen are not abusing their power. These include, “increasing the intelligence standards on the Police Force, officers to be given mental exams to weed out officers that are mentally unfit for the job, and oral boards, which are sitting…

    The Beating of Rodney King

    Throughout police history in the United States and around the world there have been numerous incidents of reported police brutality and other forms of corruption including taking bribes, theft, sexual deviance, and many more. In our present time corruption has decreased significantly from what it once was decades ago but still exists. One of the most publicized cases of police brutality, if not the most, was the beating of Rodney King. Most people have heard about the case and seen the video of the brutal beating that took place in Los Angeles on the night of March 2, 1991. The video shown to the public contained officers appearing to beat Mr. King while he is on the ground while other officers appeared to be “Observing the beating”₁ and doing nothing to stop it. After an initial view of the footage it is very easy to jump to conclusions that the beating was simply an act of unnecessary police brutality and that Mr. King was just an innocent African-American man being subjected to racism and brutality by white police. There is no question that the force used by the officers in this case may have been excessive but what preceded the event must come into consideration when looking at the ethical issue of the officers conduct.…

    Police Brutality Advertisement Analysis

    When the video was released of Rodney King being battered by police, the nation was awakened to the truth of a black man’s life. Finally, when these policemen were brought to justice it felt as if it was a movement forward in the fight to equal justice and treatment for black men.Then again, in this day and age, we still experience many injustices such as the Michael Brown shooting. Not only was he unarmed but he was innocent. Databases can not keep up with how many innocent lives have been taken by cops; especially, in the war on drugs crusade. It seems as if drugs are still a problem and much more so…

    Protected By Police

    King got it the worst! Guns were drawn, he was shot with a stun gun, and constantly beaten with batons. Each officer during the time of this stop was Caucasian and excessively overused their authority. Was this an act of racism? In addition, footage was recorded and sent in. This recording made the top headline of all news channels and raised tension towards the police all over in different cities. The excessive use of police authority needs to be stopped. If this doesn’t stop, more people will lash out on officers. Is this the reason why there is so much hatred towards the police? For many years things like this have been taking place, causing people to hate the law as well as officers. Police brutality leads to hatred of police; this is not a good look on their behalf because they…
