Starr had dearly wished she had recorded when Malik got pulled over but didn't get the chance to She couldn't save him by doing that but she was able to save her dad and that was ok and she then said on page 311 “what's the point of having a voice if your gonna be silent in in the moments you shouldn't be” This finally convinced Starr to go on the tv interview and speak out about all this and spread the word about Malik and how warped this whole situation was and how the cops where handling it and everyone was asking the wrong questions. After Starr went on the record everyone finally started hearing her and people started listening and fighting back by making peaceful protests even though some turned not peaceful.

People get uneasy around officers of the law usually no matter the situation and in turn can cause the offender or potential offender to display negative emotions. Sandra Bland should not have treated Officer Encinia the way she did during the traffic stop even if she was uneasy and upset about the traffic stop. The way Sandra Bland was behaving towards Officer Encinia was not a way one should act towards an officer of the law or anyone else for that matter.

To start, Starr knows that the events occurring in her life are also daily issues for so many other people, not only in her community, but in America as a whole. She says countless times that these issues prevent black people specifically from success within America and that issues such as police brutality and injustice will exist for as long as black people do not have a voice. She even says this, “It is easier to be quiet than to fight for your rights.” (Thomas 119), meaning that no matter what you have or what you do, you will be silenced, fought, or even in danger for speaking up about the injustice happening within your life. She believes that the silence and injustice set black people back so much from white people.

The Assassination Of Power In Freddie Gray's On Sunday

This just goes to show the power that the media has and the way in which it can be operated. Although it very briefly mentioned that six of the cops who were involved in the incident, supposedly, that three of them were coloured skin, two male and one female. Therefore, the media cannot frame it as a racist issue. But, it does show to the public that people can be racists against their own race. However, comparing such story to other recent racial stories over in the US does tend to show a very stereotypical portrayal of a particular group.

A Book Review: Enforcing Order By Didier Fassin

This might simply seem as excuses, but because Fassin gets to learn their true stories, the officer goes on to tell him how he lives in a mostly Arab environment and has Arab family members, making it less likely for him to be genuinely racist. Another great example that Fassin provides, which illustrates the racism in policing is when “the cops stop three ‘elegantly dressed’ black men, who they had previously stopped. It is clear that these men are a higher class based on their clothing and the German Luxury car they are driving”(Fassin, 89). The racism comes when the cops say why they stopped them, “they’re not showing off no more now, the bastards”, making it clear that they were only stopped as pure harassment,

Racial Stereotypes

1486 Words | 6 Pages

For example, the #BlackLivesMatter movement has sparked interest from all nations to fight for justice for Africans Americans who are impulsively shot at by police, such as Philando Castile and Alton Sterling (Black Lives Matter, n.d.). In addition to that, the broadcast of Donald Trump’s constant ridicule at Mexicans by calling them “rapists” and “criminals”, among other derogatory terms may have also influenced our participants’ answers (Moreno, 2015). Participants may be referring to African Americans and/or Hispanics as those who are extra careful around police. Respondents may have a sense empathy towards those who are discriminated against, especially when they compare the situation of the minorities in America and view themselves as the minority in Malaysia. Some may even have personal experience with a sense of paranoia around the police due to the assumed negative perception law enforcers and politicians have against

There arises a problem when the officers intended to uphold this law target individuals solely based on their race. In one instance a Black woman was taken out of a car and forced into a building as a policeman watched on. When she emerged all bruised and bloodied, Wright “watched him throw her into a patrol wagon.” (7) The woman was arrested for supposedly being drunk when the officer had clearly seen that she had done nothing wrong and was instead the victim. Wright experienced this same phenomenon himself.
