The Final Verdict Of The Rodney King Trial In 1992

The final verdict of the Rodney King trial in 1992 caused many people to grow anger, and display their anger in different ways. Some people displayed aggression and fury with the riots in Los Angeles, others attempted to get a different resolution for the LAPD officers that were acquitted, and there were also citizens who wrote about the impacts of this trial and other issues. After reading the entries and taking my experiences into account, the three responses were fitting according to the verdict. Riots are normally considered to be malicious acts that are highly frowned upon, but in some cases a riot is necessary. People express themselves in different ways when they grow angry; some people will riot because they can show people that they are upset and they believe this is the best way to get the point across. Even though I think the riots were justified in this situation, I do understand how someone could disagree with the riots. Many people were injured by the riots and there was a lot of damage caused. The riots were a very controversial response to the verdict, but it was justified and effective in showing everyone that the citizens of LA were unhappy with the decision of the court.

By writing down their feelings, the authors are able to communicate with other writers all around the country in a very short time. This is an effective response because it does not harm anyone and it can easily be accepted by someone or discarded. If someone is reading the article and they disagree with it, they can write back to the author, or they can discard the article altogether. But if the reader agrees with the article, they can help support the change or just share the author’s thoughts on the topic. Overall, writing or reading political commentary was a very effective response to the final verdict of the Rodney King
