Not only in Ferguson – where the killing led to violent protests, which even intensified after a grand jury acquitted the officer who had shot Brown – but all over America, people demanded systemic cultural and substantive policy changes in police departments […] to ensure black and brown communities are not targeted with overly aggressive, discriminatory ‘broken windows policing’ and ‘stop and frisk’ policies that promote brutality and violence.2 Arguing that improving police-minority relations had to start with holding police officers accountable for abusing civil rights, they called for a nationwide “zero- tolerance policy for police brutality.”3 The public outcry aroused by the events in Ferguson, resemble, albeit on a much smaller scale, that following the beating of African American motorist Rodney Glen King by four white Los Angeles police officers on March 3rd, 1991. After a high- speed chase, King – in departure from the usual arresting procedure – was beaten and kicked more than fifty times. Unnoticed by those involved, however, the incident had been filmed by a neighbor who handed the videotape over to the local TV-station K.T.L.A., which instantly released an edited version of the tape. Because of the video evidence as well as the huge wave of protest its publishing led to, the officers were charged with excessive use of force and assault.4 Despite the horror the nation-wide televised images of the beating caused among Angelenos of all races, large parts of the city’s African American population 1 Sinyangwe, Samuel: “Mapping Police Violence”.

  • The Long Con of Civility
    University of Connecticut OpenCommons@UConn Connecticut Law Review School of Law 2021 The Long Con of Civility Lynn Mie Itagaki Follow this and additional works at: https://opencommons.uconn.edu/law_review Recommended Citation Itagaki, Lynn Mie, "The Long Con of Civility" (2021). Connecticut Law Review. 446. https://opencommons.uconn.edu/law_review/446 CONNECTICUT LAW REVIEW VOLUME 52 FEBRUARY 2021 NUMBER 3 Article The Long Con of Civility LYNN MIE ITAGAKI Civility has been much on the minds of pundits in local and national political discussions since the 1990s. Periods of civil unrest or irreconcilable divisions in governance intensify concerns about civility. While its more archaic definitions refer to citizenry and civilization, civility is often promoted as the foundation or goal of deliberative democracies. However, less acknowledged is its disciplinary, repressive effects in maintaining or deepening racial, gendered, heteronormative, and ableist hierarchies that distinguish some populations for full citizenship and others for partial rights and protections. In Part I, I examine a recent series of civility polls, their contradictory results, and how these contradictions can importantly expose the fissures of our contemporary moment and our body politic. In Part II, I describe the historical background of civility around race, gender, and sexuality and the unacknowledged difficulty in defining civility and incivility. In Part III, I extend this discussion to address the recent cases before the Supreme Court concerning LGBTQ+ employment discrimination and lack of accessibility. In conclusion, I identify what it would mean to analyze civility in terms of dignity on the basis of these cases about the equal rights and protections of their LGBTQ+ and disabled plaintiffs.

  • In Los Angeles, the Ghosts of Rodney King and Watts Rise Again Los Angeles Has Been One of Americaʼs Reference Points for Racial Unrest
    7/1/2020 Protests in L.A.: The Ghosts of Rodney King and Watts Rise Again - The New York Times https://nyti.ms/2XWu0Rp In Los Angeles, the Ghosts of Rodney King and Watts Rise Again Los Angeles has been one of Americaʼs reference points for racial unrest. This time protesters are bringing their anger to the people they say need to hear it most: the white and wealthy. By Tim Arango June 3, 2020 LOS ANGELES — Patrisse Cullors was 8 in 1992, when Los Angeles erupted in riots after four police officers were acquitted of assault for the beating of Rodney King, which occurred outside a San Fernando Valley apartment building not far from where Ms. Cullors grew up. “I was scared as hell,” she recalled. “As children, when we would see the police, our parents would tell us, ʻBehave, be quiet, don’t say anything.’ There was such fear of law enforcement in this city.” With America seized by racial unrest, as protests convulse cities from coast to coast after the death of George Floyd, Los Angeles is on fire again. As peaceful protests in the city turned violent over the past few days, with images of looting and burning buildings captured by news helicopters shown late into the night, Ms. Cullors, like many Angelenos, was pulled back to the trauma of 1992. The parallels are easy to see: looting and destruction, fueled by anger over police abuses; shopkeepers, with long guns, protecting their businesses. The differences, though, between 1992 and now, are stark. This time, the faces of the protesters are more diverse — black, white, Latino, Asian; there has been little if any racially motivated violence among Angelenos; and the geography of the chaos is very different, with protesters bringing their message to Los Angeles’ largely white and rich Westside.

Lynda Anne Moy From Yellow Peril to Model Minority: Deconstruction of the Model Minority Myth and Implications for the Invisibility of Asian American Mental Health Needs ABSTRACT The model minority myth is a racial stereotype imposed upon Asian Americans, often depicting them as a successful and high-achieving monolithic group in the United States. This paper examines sociopolitical functions of the term “model minority” and implications for this broad and diverse racial group by reviewing existing literature and conducting an analysis of qualitative interviews with 12 Asian Americans. The findings of this study suggest that while the model minority myth appears to be a positive stereotype, it may lead Asian Americans to experience distress through (a.) a sense of confinement, (b.) treatment as foreigners, and (c.) erasure and invisibility of challenges around identity, racism and discrimination, immigrant and refugee experiences, mental health, and accessing culturally sensitive resources.

Critics question the constitutionality ofjoint-training between the military and civilian police, as well as the Fourth Amendment considerationsraised by SWAT tactics. This Note examines the history, mission, and continuing needfor police SWAT teams, addressingthe constitutionalissues raisedconcerning training and tactics. It explains how SWATjoint-training with the military is authorized by federal law and concludes that SWAT tactics are constitutionallyacceptable in a majority of situations. Though these tactics are legal andconstitutionally authorized, this Note acknowledges the validfearscritics have regarding the abuse of such police authority, and the limitations of constitutionaltort jurisprudence in adequately redressingresulting injuries.

  • Systemic Racism, Police Brutality of Black People, and the Use of Violence in Quelling Peaceful Protests in America
    SYSTEMIC RACISM, POLICE BRUTALITY OF BLACK PEOPLE, AND THE USE OF VIOLENCE IN QUELLING PEACEFUL PROTESTS IN AMERICA WILLIAMS C. IHEME* “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” —Martin Luther King Jr Abstract: The Trump Administration and its mantra to ‘Make America Great Again’ has been calibrated with racism and severe oppression against Black people in America who still bear the deep marks of slavery. After the official abolition of slavery in the second half of the nineteenth century, the initial inability of Black people to own land, coupled with the various Jim Crow laws rendered the acquired freedom nearly insignificant in the face of poverty and hopelessness. Although the age-long struggles for civil rights and equal treatments have caused the acquisition of more black-letter rights, the systemic racism that still perverts the American justice system has largely disabled these rights: the result is that Black people continue to exist at the periphery of American economy and politics. Using a functional approach and other types of approach to legal and sociological reasoning, this article examines the supportive roles of Corporate America, Mainstream Media, and White Supremacists in winnowing the systemic oppression that manifests largely through police brutality. The article argues that some of the sustainable solutions against these injustices must be tackled from the roots and not through window-dressing legislation, which often harbor the narrow interests of Corporate America. Keywords: Black people, racism, oppression, violence, police brutality, prison, bail, mass incarceration, protests. Summary: 1. INTRODUCTION: SLAVE TRADE AS THE ENTRY POINT OF SYSTEMIC RACISM.
