Another acquittal in case doesn't mean more riots
GM/NBC incident raises e
The Baltimore Sun The week thal Los Angeles has been dreading has arrived. Four Los Angeles Police Department ofhcers charg·e d with criminally beating Rodney King go on trial in federal dislnct court. The officers were acquitted tn a state court 1n a nearby suburban county last year of all but one minor count. That touched off lhe worst noting in tt11s century: the county coroner attributed 60 deaths to the fiery. bloody react,on to the verdict. Property damage has been estimated at $1 billion Many Californians •· many Americans •· believe the officers have been shown on videotape to be clearly guilty, and so they fear anolher acquittal will provoke another not But surely that is not .so. That the police officers are being tried a second time •• and in federal court .. is clear proof lhe system is not supPortive of whtte brutahty against AfrscanAmericans. Many people believe Daryl Gates. the Los Angeles police chief when the beating took plaoe, was a racist. He is gone, The new chief is a veteran African-American law enforcement officer from Ph1ladelph1a who has been working night and day 10 rid the Los Angeles Police Department of whatever culture of white racism still exists. Police Chief Willie Williams also has been wor1<• ing to prepare his departnw11 lor a more professional response to the first signs of rioting. Lasl yea( s rio1s might never have begun had the Los Angeles Police Department and other law enforcement units done lheir Job ., a timely fashion. One of the clearest '8ssons of the urban disorders
of the 1960s was that massive force promptly employed stops angry, violent demons1ra1ions trom 1uming ugly. If Los Angeles, the state of California and the federal government did not r&-leam that lesson last year in Soulh Central Los Angeles, they never will. Federal courts are behind their state counterparts ,n recognizing the need tor the public to see what
goes on in courtrooms. II is unfort1,1nate that this trial will not be televised. All people are going to see -over and over, no doubt -- is the sd<ening videotape
of the beating. with none of the accompanying al• tempts to put it into the context that the jurors of last year rightly or wrongly tpund persuasive of iMo-
