Racism Blog

Rodney king riots were riots due to police brutality issues. Los Angeles police brutally attacked an African American man named Rodney King and in a revolt African Americans rioted around L.A. when this happened. I was shocked about how police who take an oath can beat an innocent man although Rodney King was high and intoxicated. I agree with the black community on rioting although you never want to cause destruction you have to do what you believe in. It relates to TKM because Rodney King was sort of like a mockingbird kinda innocent and got prosecuted. The connection to the book is the fact that the innocent African American is always getting accused.
