Tal día como Hoy «:En Los Ángeles, la policía propina una brutal paliza a Rodney King, evento que fue grabado y desató graves disturbios sociales.»
El racismo en EEUU es algo que siempre ha estado muy presente en los EEUU, no es cosa de ahora del gobierno de Donald Trump, las tensiones raciales han estado siempre, uno de tantos episodios terribles ocurrió tal día como hoy en 1991, cuando un taxista afroaméricano Rodney King, fue asesinado a golpes por la policía de Los Angeles por no detenerse tras una infracción de tráfico.
El ataque: Tras ser interceptado, cuatro agentes del Departamento de Policía de Los Ángeles (LAPD) —Stacey Koon, Laurence Powell, Timothy Wind y Theodore Briseño— le propinaron una paliza que incluyó más de 50 golpes con porras, patadas y el uso de pistolas táser.
- La grabación: El ataque fue grabado desde un balcón cercano por un videoaficionado llamado George Holliday. La difusión del video en la cadena local KTLA y posteriormente a nivel mundial provocó una indignación pública inmediata. NPR +3
El Veredicto y los Disturbios (abril de 1992)
A pesar de la evidencia clara visual de estos terribles sucesos, un jurado en los juzgados de Simi Valley (California) absolvieron a cuatro policías de casi todo los cargos de uso excesiva de la fuerza.
Tras está injusticia, se produjeron violentos disturbios en la ciudad de Los Angeles, durante seis días de caos, la ciudad sufrió saqueos, incendios provocados y enfrentamientos violentos que resultaron en:
- Más de 60 muertes y miles de heridos.
- Cerca de 1,000 edificios destruidos o dañados por el fuego.
- Daños materiales estimados en 1,000 millones de dólares.
- El despliegue de la Guardia Nacional y tropas federales para restaurar el orden.
Consecuencias Posteriores
- Juicio federal: En un segundo juicio federal en 1993, dos de los oficiales (Koon y Powell) fueron declarados culpables de violar los derechos civiles de King y sentenciados a prisión.
- Indemnización: Rodney King recibió una compensación de 3.8 millones de dólares por parte de la ciudad de Los Ángeles en una demanda civil.
- Legado: El caso se convirtió en un símbolo de la lucha por los derechos civiles y es frecuentemente citado en discusiones actuales sobre la reforma policial y el movimiento Black Lives Matter.

Okay youngsters, grandpa’s telling a story…
If you’re standing in a bar and suddenly the 40–60 year old somethings jump off their barstools like creaky wild animals, shouting along in rough unison to something that’s easy to sing and loose your self, then you’re most likely dealing with “Killing in the Name” by Rage Against the Machine…
ℹ️ Just let them go for a bit. It has everything to do with the here and now…

#protests #LA #history #RodneyKing
"Unlike the 1992 riots, protests have mainly been peaceful and been confined to a roughly five-block stretch of downtown LA, a tiny patch in the sprawling city of nearly 4 million people. No one has died. There’s been vandalism and some cars set on fire but no homes or buildings have burned.
More than 100 people have been arrested over the past several days of protests. The vast majority of arrests were for failing to disperse, while a few others were for assault with a deadly weapon, looting, vandalism and attempted murder for tossing a Molotov cocktail.
(. . .)
Outrage over the verdicts on April 29, 1992 led to nearly a week of widespread violence that was one of the deadliest riots in American history. Hundreds of businesses were looted. Entire blocks of homes and stores were torched. More than 60 people died in shootings and other violence, mostly in South Los Angeles, an area with a heavily Black population at the time.
The 1992 uprising took many by surprise, including the Los Angeles Police Department, but the King verdict was a catalyst for racial tensions that had been building in the city for years.
In addition to frustration with their treatment by police, some directed their anger at Korean merchants who owned many of the local stores. Black residents felt the owners treated them more like shoplifters than shoppers. As looting and fires spread toward Koreatown, some merchants protected their stores with shotguns and rifles."

The protests in Los Angeles will trigger memories for many of the LA Riots of 1992 (also known as the South Central riots, Rodney King riots, and the 1992 Los Angeles uprising.)
If you are talking about the events of 1992 in your classroom to provide historical context for current events, we have resources that can help. 1/n

#Congress authorized the #DOJ to conduct civil investigations into constitutional #abuses by #police, such as excessive use of force or racially-motivated policing, in 1994, as a response to the horrific beating of #RodneyKing, a #Black man, by #white #LAPD officers.
During #Biden's presidency, the #CivilRights Division launched 12 such "pattern or practice" investigations into police depts including #Phoenix, #NYC, #Trenton, #Memphis & #Lexington.

Those federal #troops could either be regular active-duty #military or state #NationalGuard soldiers the federal govt has assumed control over.
The #InsurrectionAct was last invoked in 1992, when President George H.W. Bush sent troops to help suppress riots in Los Angeles following the acquittal of white police officers who were videotaped beating a Black motorist, #RodneyKing. In that case, however, the governor of California… & the mayor of LA… had asked for federal assistance….

1/ I know I shouldn’t have watched the #tyrenichols but that is worse than #rodneyking. They literally beat that poor man to death. I had an encounter years ago where I was in a conference call with a client in another state and I got pulled over by the police. They asked me if I wanted to call them back and I said “no, if anything happens to me, you’ll know the truth”. One of the cops looked at me and my registration and asked “is this car yours?”
