On February 1st, 2017 riots broke out on the campus of the University of California at Berkeley. It was a brawl waiting to happen.

death. He survives but somebody happens to catch this brutal beating on video and the police officers are charged on March 9th 1991, then 2 of the officers are completely acquitted in 1992 which is massively accepted to have started the Los Angeles Riots. So now that being 24 years ago, it’s still a thing that parents are scared of happening to their son or daughter, even though we’ve progressed so much with technology with body cams and knowing your freedoms (being able to record a cop while…

The causes and consequences of the riot were lawlessness and antisemitism. Antisemitism was communicated through anti-Semitic slogans, and people explicitly proclaiming themselves the proud reincarnations of Hitler (signs with messages like “Hitler didn’t do his job”).The lawlessness occurred when the error made by the police caused the police to be accused of giving preferential treatment to the Jews.

18-year-old named Michael Brown. This decision by a grand jury has sparked riots, protests, and general anger across the nation. Those people who agree with the rioters and/or protestors say things, such as, “Racism is still here and if you don’t think that’s true, open your eyes!” Others are quick to point out, “THE LOOTERS AND THE PROTESTORS ARE DIFFERENT PEOPLE!

The decision to protest is a daunting one. It’s easy to chalk up the lack of involvement to the fear of what could happen when you submit yourself to the world of public objection. It takes a strong mind and a profound calling to partake in a protest. Personally, the decision not to protest has always bothered me more than the decision to stand up. I have passed opportunities to express dissent for something that I felt strongly about due to the possible negative social, emotional, economic, and…

Mexico Prison Riot in it’s entirety, all aspects of breakdown must be considered. It has been clearly understood by movement scholars that the riot that took place at the penitentiary was the result of diminishing solidarity between the administration and the inmates.

Participating in the act of calling out a majority group (rioters) by pointing out certain aspects of their actions as childish in order to prove in today’s divided society that rioting is not the answer to all of the world’s problems. Booth urges the world population to understand that riots make situation worse and show…
