The George Floyd Case After-effects: Police Abolition
People always ask what natural justice is. For some, justice serves as a medium of respect to the victims and creates a ripple that affects their life, either good or bad. At the same time, others refer to justice as a caste system where inequalities arise due to the different forms of power and opinions (Pellissery). With the George Floyd case at hand, the difference of opinions has scattered, which made revolutionary impacts towards one of the forces that govern justice and law. This paper will tackle police systems’ issues and how creating a considerable gap can occur when changes happen.
The Caste System
In the subcontinent of India, the caste system was referred to as how people are divided through their hereditary groups. It is a system where ranking is emphasized, and low-ranking people are called untouchables while the opposite of them is exclusive for marriages (Hoff). With hierarchy in mind, the definition of the caste system by Wilkerson also represents truth. She defined it as an artificial hierarchy between supreme individuals towards those categorized as weak and below them. It is where the inferiority of the people of lower rank in the hierarchy and the superiority of those on top are emphasized. In some cases, such as the United States, race-based hierarchy can still be observed.
This is supported by Alexander where she stated that even though people of color have been given opportunities of being successful and be key figures in society, racial hierarchy and discrimination still occur. Although people, who are being discriminated against due to their race, have equal rights by laws, social hierarchy can still be found within the society. One example would be how the hierarchy is presented between LGBT people of color, non-LGBT people of color, and those who are white LGBT in terms of poverty. It was described that LGBT people of color are two times more in terms of poverty compared to non-LGBT people of color. However, compared to white LGBT, the poverty of non-LGBT people of color is six times more (Center for American Progress). This implies how poverty and gender identity also cause hierarchy within the society.
The call for the case of George Floyd can also be referred to as an example where according to Weine et al., his death caused a great stir and uprise a movement that was up until now struggling to present their voices. They stated that the death of George Floyd at the hands of a White Police, together with another teenage black child done by a Brazilian Police, made news to the public how discrimination and domination occur just because of their color. Barbot even stated how the events caused a great disturbance and a moral injury to the public, especially during the pandemic. This ripple brought forth the chaos that police forces have to face for the rest of their lives.
The Impact
When Hiemstra defined the United States detention and deportation system into various confusing branches and resulting in chaos, it similarly dictates the current addressee. She also elaborated that because of the systematized chaos, inefficiencies of the system would be undergone, and people would ...
