Image Analysis - I chose a clip from the Rodney King beating. This image enraged the black community and brought police brutality to light in other communities that injustice happens everyday.
The police who beat Rodney King were not afraid to beat him outside in public's view. They were in public where someone was able to tape the beating. Without the tape and evidence as proof of the beating and the indecent behavior of law enforcement the men would not have felt shame. Maybe not forgiveness but at least shame for harming brutally a man who could not defend themselves.
This beating on tape enraged many people and harmed not only one but thousands of people either physically, mentally, or scarred America emotionally. We all felt shame from this tape.
