On the 3rd of March in 1991, Rodney King was pulled over by the cops. As he cooperated with them, he was still beaten to the ground by the police officers. The police officers insisted that they were dealing with a man who was resisting them. This was an extremely unfair situation. The police in their actual minds were racist. They just wanted to treat the African Americans worse because they were different and that they seemed dangerous by look. This was the start of a string of police brutality events that were committed on other minority citizens.
