Coquettish Rebirth

And at such a time, another bad news came!A black man who was caught by the police during the demonstration a few days ago died in the hospital because of a fractured spine!This matter quickly spread among the crowd behind Bain and the others, and the citizens were outraged all of a sudden!That's right, in a country like the United States, there are still many domestic conflicts at such a time.First of all, on the one hand, it is a contradiction similar to "Occupy Wall Street".The original Occupy Wall Street move was on September 2011, 9. Thousands of demonstrators gathered in Manhattan, New York, USA, trying to occupy Wall Street. Some even brought tents and threatened to persist for a long time.

They organized through the Internet to turn Wall Street into Egypt's Tahrir Square.Demonstration organizers said their intention was to oppose the power-for-money, bipartisan politics and social injustice of American politics. On October 2011, 10, the "Occupy Wall Street" protests showed an escalating trend. More than a thousand demonstrators marched in the capital Washington DC. Now it has gradually become a mass social movement sweeping the United States.The New York police launched an operation in the early morning of November 8 to enforce clearing of the camp set up by Occupy Wall Street protesters in Zuccotti Park.The Oakland police used batons to clear the demonstrators on October 11, and the incident turned into a bloody conflict.Since Wall Street's own irresponsible behavior led to the international financial crisis, American society's criticism and blame on Wall Street have never subsided.Many Americans believe that the government bailout has allowed Wall Street to go unpunished for its own greed.In the third year after the crisis, Wall Street has recovered, but failed to share the difficulties with ordinary people. Instead, it is keen on internal dividends, which makes the long-standing public grievances finally erupt. The direct trigger of "Occupy Wall Street" is that the big Wall Street banks want to charge consumers higher account fees, so as to pass on the cost burden brought to banks by the financial regulatory reform law passed last year.

Due to the influence of internal and external factors.The U.S. economy continues to be weak, and the unemployment rate remains above 9%, resulting in a large increase in the number of poor people.The latest report released by the U.S. Census Bureau shows that the poverty rate in the United States was 2010% in 15.1, and the number of poor people reached 4620 million, the highest in 52 years.at the same time.Social wealth is highly concentrated to a small number of wealthy Americans represented by Wall Street.Statistics show that the richest 5% of Americans own 72% of the nation's wealth.The further widening of the gap between the rich and the poor will inevitably lead to deepening social conflicts!Thousands of Americans took to the streets, chanting "We represent the 99 percent", "Wall Street is responsible for all crises", "Kick money out of elections", "Jobs, not war", "Revolution now" , "Reshaping America" ​​and other slogans aimed at the unrestrained greed of Wall Street, the irresponsible indulgence of the US government, and the depression of people's livelihood.The demonstrators vented their dissatisfaction on the American political and economic system and social system, which is mired in disparity between the rich and the poor, power trading, partisan struggles, and war.

Of course, Jia Hongjian also knew about those giants on Wall Street in the United States.That's dad!When ordinary people protest, the police can directly go up and spray pepper spray on peaceful protesters, and can beat them with various batons. He, Jia Hongjian, is also not suitable for saying bad things about Wall Street in movies.So Jia Hung-chien was very clever and didn't mention anything like Financial Street in the movie to allude to Wall Street, but concentrated the hatred of such a crowd on an individual!For example, those CEOs who gave themselves tens of millions of annual salary and then bankrupted the company!In this way, since the financial backer is not involved, the problem shouldn't be too big?On the other hand, Jia Hongjian also tried his best to touch on another contradiction in American society - the contradiction between the police and the people!

Reflect on the crux of the conflict between police and civilians in the United States.Racism is a difficult problem to get around.Although as early as 1964, the U.S. Congress passed the Civil Rights Act, which made racial discrimination illegal.However, the shadow of racial discrimination has been lingering in the depths of American society for many years. "In the United States, the African-American group is generally still economically poorer, and the education they receive is the weakest. The final result is that the African-American group has become the main group of crimes in American society." This is what experts say. The structure is accompanied by the potential discrimination against ethnic minorities in American society.What has further triggered it is that the American police have certain prejudices against the African ethnic group in the process of law enforcement, and are more likely to over-enforce the law.Time magazine recently quoted an American scholar who helped organize protests in Baltimore as saying that police enforcement in wealthier white neighborhoods is almost always more civilized than in poorer African-American neighborhoods.

Moreover, analysts generally agree.The right of American citizens to hold guns is also an important cause of frequent conflicts between police and civilians in the United States.American citizens have the right to hold guns, which means that the American police are always in a more dangerous situation in the process of law enforcement, which in turn makes the limit for the use of force by the American police in law enforcement relatively low.In addition, the United States often introduces the jury system when trying related cases, and the social composition dominated by whites generally tends to give the police more power, which indirectly makes it easier for the American police to detain the so-called "suspicious people" in the process of law enforcement. Pull the trigger.The results of a survey released by Harvard University in the United States also show that nearly half of young Americans do not trust the US judicial system and believe that it treats people of different skin colors and races differently.

And in 1992, it was the largest black riot in American history after Martin Luther King was assassinated, and such a riot directly paralyzed such an international metropolis as Los Angeles! The 1992 Los Angeles Riots, also known as the Rodney King Riots, Korea Central Riots, were a series of riots that occurred in Los Angeles in 1992.There was a spate of looting, arson and civil unrest in Los Angeles at the time.What later became a broadly representative episode of police violence.It was the deadliest riot in the United States since the 1960s, second only to the New York draft riot in 1863.Numerous robberies, assaults, arson and murders filled the riots, with property damage estimated at over a billion dollars!After the riots, the California Army National Guard and the US Marine Corps Pendleton were ordered to participate in the suppression of the riots to help the local police suppress the riots.A total of 53 people were killed in the riots and more than 2000 were injured.After the riot subsided, important actions for the LAPD included reviewing police involvement, adding a small number of officers to the police department, analyzing excessive use of force, resigning the police chief and losing support for the Los Angeles mayor, and analyzing the general political and economic climate leading up to the riots.

The cause of such a riot was that on March 1991, 3, an old black man named Rodney King and two passengers were drinking and speeding on the East Bay Coast Expressway. A small road in the city.blocked by the police.After the verbal warning was ineffective, Sergeant Kong ordered Powell and other four white criminal policemen to subdue Jin, but because Jin resisted, the four policemen failed to subdue Jin. After the warning was invalid, Sergeant Kong used a high-voltage electric baton.However, King was knocked down twice in a row and immediately stood up and rushed towards Powell. Powell hit Jin's head and body with a metal baton, and two other police officers kicked Jin with police boots, but Jin refused to obey the order. King didn't beg for mercy until the police knocked down the 3th baton.

Then the police stopped the beating, handcuffed Jin, and handed over the ambulance to the hospital for emergency treatment.The entire incident was filmed by nearby resident George Halletti from his apartment, excluding scenes of King resisting arrest and Kong trying to subdue King with a high-voltage baton.81 seconds total.The next day, George Halliday sent the video to the headquarters in Los Angeles. Three weeks after it was broadcast, it became known that it was a deleted video. Vice President Turner then ordered n to broadcast this news to make up the deleted part, but The three major TV networks and KTLA still broadcast the deleted video.

In the early days, the police claimed that Rodney King resisted arrest and used force to arrest him.Police said patrolling officers and Rodney King had a chase on the highway.And ran through multiple traffic lights in a row, the police speculated that he might have taken drugs.In a later interview, Rodney said he had just been released from prison on parole and he feared being disqualified for being arrested by police.After the video was released, it immediately attracted the attention of all walks of life in the United States. Within two weeks of the incident, many newspapers published many news articles about the incident, and many news stations also discussed the incident in their programs.Public opinion considered this a shocking tragedy and strongly accused the police of abusing their power.The Los Angeles District Attorney indicted four police officers suspected of beating and attacking Rodney King. The trial took place in Ventura County, which is adjacent to the predominantly white and politically conservative Simi Valley.No Ventura County residents served on the jury. The jury was all San Fernando Valley residents. On April 4, 1992, the jury acquitted the four police officers and arrested the suspects without excessive force.

At 4:29 pm local time on Wednesday, April 3, four police officers were released by the court. At 15:3 pm, a large number of people protested outside the Los Angeles District Court. At 45 pm, some African-Americans began to protest. Gathered at the intersection of Florence and Normandy Streets in south-central Los Angeles, the local police dispatched 6 police officers to drive them away, but due to the disparity in numbers, the police soon announced their withdrawal. At 24:6 p.m., another group of demonstrators gathered in the Park Center , At 15:6 p.m., the crowd at the intersection of Florence and Normandy started to riot, looting and attacking businesses and vehicles. Most of the victims were whites... Such a riot that lasted for four days, Shocked the whole world through the media.During this period, a total of 30 people were killed and property damage was estimated at US$53 billion.There were about 10 arson attacks and about 600 arrests.In addition to the Los Angeles Police Department, about 1 California National Guardsmen and thousands of U.S. Army and Marine Corps troops were also deployed to suppress the crowd.Some American cities were affected by the riots, and small-scale riots also occurred, such as Las Vegas, San Francisco, New York, Seattle, Chicago, and Phoenix.

In such a big riot, apart from the problems between the blacks and the police, the most important thing was the high unemployment rate in the United States at that time!That's right, the oil crisis in the late 91s just continued in 80. At such a time, Japanese cars entered the U.S. market aggressively, and Americans began to abandon their own muscle cars in favor of fuel-efficient Japanese cars. After various unemployment rates soared, the result was almost the same as Wall Street!Wall Street, where white people go to protest, can be very peaceful, but old black people...surely not so peaceful!Therefore, to solve the contradictions in American society, the main thing is to develop the economy. Otherwise, when Clinton ran against Bush Sr., Clinton relied on "all problems boil down to economic problems, idiot!" It directly won him a large number of votes!

As for what Jia Hongjian and the others designed here, wasn’t it designed according to the same template used during the Los Angeles riots?Isn't it just that the various economies are not working, and then there are problems between the police and black people?Of course, Bain must have made some exaggerations in the middle. For example, they didn’t know if the police beat any black people to death, so they claimed that the black people were tortured to death by the police!Doesn't this make the crowd angry?
