Regardless of how much America claims to be a free country with equal opportunities for all, there will always exist a certain sense of prejudice and rivalry between all races. Over the years, despite anti-segregation or anti-discriminatory measures, society hasn’t managed to suppress or move on passed the racial gap. This is when it becomes evident in police cases such as the Rodney King beating case in which the police officers were acquitted. And nowadays, we just keep adding cases to the list, just like the death of Eric Garner and/or Robert Davis, a retired elementary school teacher suspected of intoxication. And there are many more. I agree with the article when it states that different people had different interpretations of the video that went viral after King’s beating. On one side, evidence such as a video could easily prove whether someone is guilty or not, however, it was also frustrating because even after the judge saw the video he still decided to acquit two of the four officers. This is the meanings I stuck with. Unfortunately, justice doesn’t always get the job done. In addition, the article states that the relations between communities cannot be mediated in a neutral fashion, and I completely agree with that. There isn’t such a thing as neutral in current society, as hard as that is to accept, there will always be some sort of biased actions/thoughts/words/procedures executed by someone.
