2014 largely was a time of amazing, but very terrible events.Reports from the various corners of the planet is plunged into shock, the horror of the public.I do not like the unpleasant remained without attention and planetary hegemony.The whole world was surprised unrest in the United States.It would seem that in this "society of prosperity and democracy" can not happen anything wrong.However, the media showed a different picture.What happened and why?Let's face it.
Home: event number
Arena event was the city of Ferguson (USA).The riots began there with one, they say it is an ordinary event.A policeman shot a black teenager.Sounds agree, very scary.How can it be that the guardian of order raised his hand (the more applied the weapon) to the child?However, many sources claim that it was still the little child.Teenager involved petty theft.Such teenagers say they have a criminal record.In addition, national legislation allowed police to use weapons.And the statistics (which are "stubborn thing") claimed that the case was not out of the ordinary.This happens regularly.But this particular case has generated unrest in the United States, caused a stir in society.Expressed condolences to the family of the deceased, the political leaders vying addressed the nation, requiring concrete action from President Obama.
Developments
entire planet within a few hours to learn a lot about the city of Ferguson (USA).Strife permanently secured him a place on the front pages of news portals.During the events of the next set of prying eyes around the world.Riots in the US seemed to be nonsense.This could not be, but all are now viewed the live broadcast.The world turned upside down?A few days crowds of protesters occupied the avenues and streets Ferguson.Police tried to disperse them without much ado, by the way.They demanded that the guilty police severely punished.The investigation was delayed.Correspondent reported from the scene, the city began to flock to "radical elements" from neighboring states.Residents joined the action in Washington.Riots in the US threatened to go to the national share (or other nations, tired of tyranny hegemon, that I just wanted to?).
Expanding overview of developments
meaning of any social phenomenon can not be understood without a thorough examination of all existing social circumstances, trends and forces.For Fergyusonsky incident was not the first, and last, by the way, too.But he responded to the public.What was happening at that moment in the political field of the country?After spending just one minute, we can find (or remember) that the United States already being conducted election race.Elephants and Donkeys are fighting for seats in the House of Representatives.Election intermediaries.Nevertheless, in 2014 they became obviously very important for both parties.Supporters of Obama (Democrats) have traditionally relied on the black population.Their opponents have decided to cut the ground from under the feet of an opponent.That this may be an explanation of those events that shook the world's media a few months.
provocation or pattern?
Ferguson - only an arena for the election of the play?Then maybe it all a trick?Let cruel, but a single event?So, probably, I think the interested reader.Some experts in any case decided to find out and it.The survey revealed that people's attitude to the police and law enforcement against violators thereof is highly dependent on skin color (even if it is not quite politically correct remark).Here are the figures, published by Gallup in August 2014. The organization has asked citizens to questions concerning their attitude to law enforcement agencies.It turned out that the police believe the 59% of "white".Trust the black Americans is much lower - only 37%.In addition, there are studies that show that black US citizens often fall behind bars, they rarely justify the courts and so on.Therefore, if Fergyusonskie events were triggered, the soil for the disturbance is still real.
Riots in the US in 1992
Do not assume that the mass protests of citizens in the United States did not happen earlier.Not at all.In Los Angeles back in 1992 have been similar.Then four white police officers beat black.Rodney King was guilty of that exceeded the speed.To surrender to the authorities without resistance, he refused, for which he was severely beaten.The acquittal against policemen then led riots in the United States.Blacks were not limited to a simple protest.They were burned more than five thousand buildings.Protestants have used weapons against the police, stormed the offices of government bodies.
Interestingly, in both cases described were similar reasons for the beginning of unrest.White guard of the order violated the constitutional rights of African Americans.And the population involved in the protest actions were also similar.It all started with the blacks, they were joined by Hispanics and immigrants.
