Rodney King Again?


“A police chase ended violently last night when cops pulled over a car in Hunting Park on North Second Street near Lippincott, after a shooting had been reported nearby. Fox29, hovering in a helicopter overhead, caught the confrontation on tape; it shows police officers stomping, kicking and beating the men from the car.”

When will police brutality end? The problems posed by the illegal exercise of police power are an ongoing reality for individuals of a disfavored race, class, or sexual orientation. Of course minorities are the ones who take the most blows when it comes to this police brutality. Historically blacks, have been the victims of police brutality. Since the middle of the l9th century a dominant white society maintained race discrimination through a police force ready and willing to use violence against those in the minority. This violence expressed itself in the years immediately after the civil war through, at the extreme, lynchings, to harrassment in various forms. It's 2008 and little is seeming to change.

Hyperghetto's.
