BLOOMER* INTRODUCTION It is never fun footing someone else’s bill. However, cost-covering and redistribution happens with practically all illegal and destructive riots and protests that occur in the United States.1 For example, repairs from the lawless demonstrations siphoned off more than $5.7 million of local funds during the 2014 Ferguson, Missouri Riots.2 How about the 2015 Baltimore riots? The riots cost Baltimore more than $20 million, and even though the mayor refused to stop the rioting, the city requested payment assistance from the federal government to cover the tab.3 Not typically known as a site of unrest, North Dakota spent more than $38 million policing the 2016 Keystone Pipeline protests, with the Federal Emergency Management * J.D., cum laude Indiana University Robert H.

  • Chocolate Suburb, Vanilla Power: Race, Space and Civil Unrest in Ferguson
    American Studies in Scandinavia, 50:2 (2018), pp. 3-20. Published by the Nordic Association for American Studies (NAAS). Chocolate Suburb, Vanilla Power: Race, Space and Civil Unrest in Ferguson Chanhaeng Lee Sungkyunkwan University Abstract: In this article, I argue that the demographic and political restructuring of city−suburb dynamics in the United States is key to understanding what happened in Ferguson, Missouri, in the summer of 2014. Ferguson, a once-vanilla suburb where the overwhelming majority of residents were white Americans, was deter- ritorialized from the 1970s onward into a suburb where black Americans became the majority group. However, the whites, as a demographic minority, were still in control and tried to reterritorialize the black suburb. I maintain that the inevitable result of this disjunction between the chocolate suburb and vanilla power was racial antagonism, which exploded in Ferguson in 2014. Keywords: Ferguson, Chocolate Suburb, Vanilla Power, Deterritorialization, Reter- ritorialization, Ecology of Power Many still vividly remember the shooting of black teenager Michael Brown, who was killed in Missouri by a white police officer, Darren Wilson, on August 9, 2014.1 Born in an impoverished suburban area named Ferguson, 1 The author has no offensive intent in using the terms “chocolate” and “vanilla.” These terms came into use in 1975 when George Clinton, the leader of the funk band Parliament, wrote a song titled “Chocolate City.” In this song, Clinton celebrated black urbanization as black domination of the inner city by suggest- ing that “A chocolate city is no dream / It’s my piece of the rock and I dig you, CC / God bless Chocolate City and its (gainin’ on ya!) vanilla suburbs.” These terms were also adopted by sociologists to describe racial residential segregation in urban America.

  • Angela Rapp, Crystal Simon, Nathaly Soto and Ken Chau Police Brutality
    Project By: Angela Rapp, Crystal Simon, Nathaly Soto and Ken Chau Police Brutality The violence and brutality have consistently defined the relationship of the police to the black community. Indeed, there has been no specific time that politicians can address this issue, and there are few reasons to be optimistic about authentic reform of the U.S. police. Police brutality has been a constant marker of inferiority in the second class population. When the police mishandle the law and become an agent of illegality and disorder, it becomes a concrete demonstration of the limits of formal equality. There is no real freedom when the police are able to attack someone for no particular reason. This is a warning of the gap between freedom and non freedom, in which the disputed black community remains. Racism in the Police The racism of the police is not the product of a venom, but rather flows from its role as an armed agent of the government. The police operate to enforce the laws of politically and economically powerful elites, for this reason poor communities and working people are subject to tight law enforcement. But the police also reflect and reinforce the dominant ideology of the government that uses them, and this also explains why they are inherently racist and resistant to substantial reforms. In other words, if the task of the police is to maintain law and order, then that role takes on specific meaning in a fundamentally racist society. Change in the Police While police control has been changed over time, as a result of the changing needs and demands of the American government, it has also been remarkably consistent as an institution that is openly racist focused against black communities.

  • Lessons from Ferguson
    Lessons from Ferguson Victoria Jaramillo Medley City of Amarillo Municipal Court Administrator The Ferguson unrest (also referred to just as Ferguson) was a series of protests and civil disorder that began the day after the fatal shooting of Michael Brown, an 18 year‐old black male, by Darren Wilson, a white police officer on August 9, 2014, in Ferguson, Missouri. Department of Justice Report In response to the shooting and subsequent unrest, the U.S. Department of Justice conducted an investigation into the policing practices of the Ferguson Police Department. 1 Including Ferguson Municipal Court? The conclusion of the 100 page report was based primarily on the actions of the Ferguson Police department. The Department of Justice report also included detailed practices of the Municipal Court. Why ? “Ferguson’s police and Municipal Court practices have sown deep mistrust between parts of the community and the police department …” DOJ Report, pg. 2 Findings • Focus on Generating Revenue . “In March of 2010, for instance the City Finance director wrote to Chief Jackson that “unless ticket writing ramps up significantly before the end of the year, it will be hard to significantly raise collections next year… Given that we are looking at a substantial sales tax shortfall, it’s not an insignificant issue.” DOJ report pg. 2 . “In March of 2013, the Finance Director wrote to the City Manager: Court fees are anticipated to rise about 7.5%. I did ask the Chief if he thought the PD could deliver 10% increase. He indicated they could try.” DOJ report, pg. 2 . In an April 2014 communication from the Finance Director to Chief Jackson and the City Manager, the Finance Director recommended immediate implementation of an “I‐270 traffic enforcement initiative” in order to “begin to fill the revenue pipeline.” DOJ report ,Pg 13 2 Year Court Fees /Fines Collected 2010 $1.38 Million 2011 $1.41 Million 2012 $2.11 Million 2013 $2.26 Million 2014 $2.63 Million (budgeted projection) Between July 1, 2010 and June 30, 2014 .

Since then, the United States has experienced a trend of organized demonstrations which follow officer-involved shootings of primarily African American civilians. How and why communities around the nation react to police violence can vary, as do the explanations for the responses of community members, demonstrators, and police officers.
