In 1991 an enormous controversy erupted after five Los Angeles police officers were caught on tape beating a motorist name Rodney King. Although there continue to be much controversy over the event, many people see it as a blatant act of discrimination. Under what circumstances would beating be considered institutional discrimination?

Respuesta :

For the Rodney King riots to be elevated to institutional discrimination, there would need to be evidence that the LAPD trained or sanctioned its officers engaging in a policy of regularly using physical violence as a form of oppression against people of color in Los Angeles.
