Be gentle, this is the first pod and working on making audio better next time! Nearly 30 years ago in March 1991, video of the beating of Rodney King was released to the public. This event caused uproar in Los Angeles among citizens fed up with the LAPD’s blatant racism, and became a defining moment in US history. The racist violence we’d known for years was caught on tape and undeniable. 29 years later in March 2020, Ahmaud Arbery was killed by two white racists, the deadly encounter all caught on tape and released 2 months later, also causing an uproar and the eventual arrest of the perpetrators. But we have to wonder, with justice being so delayed and nearly denied, do the cameras still even matter in these racist incidents that seem to repeat themselves throughout our history?
