The death of African Americans Freud exploded the time explosion of American racial issues. Some theoreticals pointed out that if there is another film that African -American was unreasonably killed by the police, the United States will fall into a lag.This film appeared on Saturday (June 13), which caused the Dharma of Atlanta, George Asia, to further intensify demonstrations, and the chain fast food restaurant Wendyrsquo; S was also burned on fire.
The incident took place on Friday (12th).According to the Georgia Survey Bureau, the victim of African -American man Rayshardbrooks was avoided from the dining area outside the fast food restaurant and slept in the car, forcing other customers to go by bypass, so the police sent it to investigate.Then the two white police officers arrived and performed alcohol tests for Brooks. The latter did not pass the test. The two police officers tried to arrest him.
It can be seen from the online video that Brooks and two police officers struggled on the ground.Brooks escaped from one of the police officers.Another police officer with a electric gun fired at him. During the chase, police officer Garrettrolfe shot and knocked Brooks to the ground.It can be seen from another closed -circuit TV clip that is open by Wendys. Before Brooks fired, Brooks turned around and pointed the electric gun to the police officer.
After the period, Brooks was sent to hospital for rescue, and a police officer was discharged after being treated for treatment.Rolls had been fired and another police officer was also transferred.
The case is wrong, the arbitrarily
As the truth is not clear, Erikashields, the chief of Atlanta's white police officer, has resigned immediately, and its African Mayor KeishalanceBottoms said: Although it is suitable for use or controversy, I firmly believe that I firmly believe thatIt is obvious that you can do it with you, and I don't think this is a fatal force that has a legitimate reason to support it.
After reading the above description, I believe everyone will agree that Brooks' death is more complicated than Freud's death.Freud was arrested for suspecting the use of 20 US dollars of counterfeit banknotes. He was pressed without fighting on the ground.Essence
In contrast, Brooks's death is still a lot of fans.Lawyers on behalf of the Brooks' family have claimed that local proofers said that police officers did not conduct alcohol tests for Brooks.In the end, did Brooks suspect that he was suspected of arresting, taking electric guns, and escape because of alcohol influence?Was Brooks just slept in the car at the time?Is it reasonable whether police officers arrested him because of the exception of Brooks's alcohol content at the time?In the end, is Brooks taken away from the police officer, or is the electric gun falling between the struggle and let him take it away?Can police officers reasonably believe that Brooks will danger to others?In the end, did the police officers uniform Brooks?Is the police officer deliberately avoided the fatal part when shooting?Was Brooks shot to police officers with a electric gun intention?
Speed on the incident many times, which won the favor of the Democratic Party's political circles, and gave her a stage of national politics; in an open letter co -deployed by more than 200 African -American celebrities, Bolton's name also appeared on their suggestions.Trump's opponent Biden chose the list of vice presidential candidates.
Facts seen by colored glasses
Regardless of whether Boton's rapid response is due to such political reasons or her personal sincerity, these responses actually show that the life of the black people is also a colored glasses behind their status and politics.Under the perspective of color glasses, all police cases of killing African -American are also the result of racial discrimination. It is due to the systemic racial discrimination of the police force, and this judgment does not have to be rational review of the facts.
This is obviously visible from the demonstrators who have taken the street due to the death of Brox.According to the interview of the USATODAY today, some demonstrators said that we have been on the streets for several weeks, but you are still killing people, as if the right or wrong of Brooks' death is right or wrong, and the death of Freud is obviously obvious mdash; mdash; ifAfter we know more facts, the right and wrong of the two may be really obvious, but we do not have enough facts at this moment.
Another demonstrator said that no matter what you do, you have no weapons, you are not threatening, you are handcuffed on the ground, and they still feel that they need to press your neck with your knees or shoot to you.If the demonstrator had seen a report of Brooks's death, maybe he would at least know that Brooks was holding a policeman with a policeman in his hand when he was shot.The fact that the lawyer representing the Brooks family did not deny, and the latter only said that in George Asia, electric guns were not fatal weapons.
From these demonstrators, to Boton's statement, it can be seen that one thing is right or wrong judgment, which is largely due to the identity of the person involved.If Brooks is a white man, his death will not be the headlines of major American media. Hills will not resign for this. Bodons will not even express it as a mayor. The demonstration on the street will followIt turned out to be gradually eased.
In addition to colored glasses: Is African -American be killed by police officers?
Some people may say that this situation does not appear at all in white people, or rarely appears, so people can blame the incident on racial discrimination under unknown detailed cases.However, this is not necessarily the case.According to statistics from the Washington Post, since 2015, a total of 2,471 white people have died in the hands of police officers, and the number of African descent is only 1,295.
Of course, the African -American population is only 42 million, while white people are close to 200 million.Based on the proportion of population, 31 African -American was killed by police officers per 1 million people at the same time, while only 13 people were killed by police officers per 1 million people at the same time.Therefore, the number of African -American was killed by police officers at all, and it was about 2.4 times that of white people.
However, the volume of the population proportion may not reflect the reality.According to data from the Federal Investigation Bureau (FBI), in 2017, there were 236,590 violent criminal cases committed by White American, and there were 151,744 similar cases committed by African descent.It is about 64%of the number of white ancestors. This number is higher than the proportion of white numbers (52%) by African -American by police officers, and in 2017, the same proportion is only 48%.
From this perspective, the proportion of US police killing white people and African -American is actually equivalent to the proportion of white and African violent criminal cases. It can even be said that they kill white people in an uncommon proportion.
Beyond non -ferrous glasses: Is only African -American be killed unreasonable by the police?
Some people can also point out that although the U.S. police are concerned about the proportion of violent criminal cases, they do not use the fatal force for African -American, but they do not properly use the obviously not threatened African -American use fatal force.
Just as Brooks' cases, the obvious line of threatening is not obvious, so it is difficult to support the assertive data to support.However, just as an article published in Times Magazine in 2016, it noticed that when all circles were familiar with the unreasonable case of African -American police and the victims, the cases and victims that everyone was unreasonably killed by the police wasLess heard.
The author of the article lists a series of simple cases and names of the victims in the article. The purpose is to let readers experience how they are familiar with African -American cases and how strange these white names are.This may be that the media itself also wears colored glasses to differentiate two typesThe result of the case.
In addition to finding the facts from individual cases, Harvard's economics African professor Rolandg.fryerjr.The interpretation of the model conversion, quoting the racial discrimination except the police in the use of non -fatal force, both interpretations failed to see racial differences in the use of fatal force.
After seeing the above data, we can draw a little conclusion: On the whole, the US police did not use fatal or fatal force on African -American.If this is established, any known facts that see the death of Brooks immediately jumped to the police who concluded the conclusion of the black or unreasonable use of fatal force, only the above -mentioned political glasses of the identity to explain the MDASH; mdash; because becauseIn addition to obviously they did not understand the details of the case, they could not prove their conclusions on the reality or rate.
Identity is just a tool for sometimes limits
Here, some people may think that even if the conclusions of the demonstrators and Bodonus are unreasonable, the reason why they can draw this conclusion is understandable.In other words, because the mainstream society in the United States in history, even in today's social status and economic distribution, there is no doubt that they are not in trouble with African descent. ThereforeUnderstanding.
First of all, what is understandable is not necessarily reasonable.If the proposition of African -American identity is to surpass the existing evidence to recognize the facts first, and even ignore the evidence, this is as ridiculous as the Nazi Jewish killing.
Secondly, if the demonstrators on the street and the liberal politicians who support them, the incident of killing the black man by the police also simply uses the framework of racial discrimination as a single interpretation, they will not only intensify conservative dislikes, and even let neutron persons be allowedCorporation.From the consideration of realistic politics, this is unwise.
Finally, at the ideal level, the ultimate goal of solving racial problems is that everyone will not treat race as a state of mdash; mdash; just as no one will study people with dark hair at the Director of Standard PoorDoes the proportion of the bureau reflect the proportion of their overall population, and a person's racial characteristics should also become a hair color.
However, holding up the life of the black people is also life, depending on all people who call anyone who is also a life is a political movement of racial discrimination, only the distinction of races will be deepened into all levels of the society.Never.
Of course, at the moment when racial discrimination does exist, we cannot ask people to abandon all politics or protest campaigns with status and living colors in real time. However, anyone participating in these movements must also understand that identity politics is in ourOne of the political tools under time and space, it is not the only one, not eternal, cannot replace the facts, or it should not be political ideals.
