Mini Post 3

For my project, I will be talking about the issue of Police Brutality. There are a lot of works and artists that talk about this subject, but one that I was fascinated with was K. Ryan Henley. He said and I quote, “I was sitting in an LA cafe when I heard other diners on their mobiles, reporting how the Grand Jury had decided not to indict Darren Wilson, the officer who shot Mike Brown,” she says. “There were already protesters lining up and blocking sections of the freeway in LA. Having grown up there, and having come of age around the time of the Rodney King beating and ensuing unrest, I was reminded of the anger and turmoil surrounding the issue of police brutality, and I wanted to express my own feelings about how little has changed. I ended up posting a portrait of Brown I’d made the previous summer and got a huge response. The New York Grand Jury neglected to indict Daniel Pantaleo, Eric Garner’s killer, only days later, and I posted a portrait of Garner as well.” 


Work made by individuals from Art Responders framed the reason for VIRAL. The display incorporates representations of surely understood unfortunate casualties—Sandra Bland, Eric Garner, Oscar Grant, Trayvon Martin, and Michael Brown, to give some examples—nearby craftsmanship memorializing under-announced episodes, similar to the homicide of Alex Nieto, a 28-year-elderly person shot by San Francisco police while holding a taser. The show is organized as a visual course of events of occurrences, extending over the display dividers. Content, music, drawings, compositions, and video chronicle the critical laws and socio-specialized advancements identified with the utilization of extrajudicial power against non-white individuals.





There is also a music video that I have chosen to include that shows a physical battle between a dark youngster and a white cop. The two move around the road, snatching and stifling each other, from day to night. The battle is in the end taken to the high schooler's home, and finishes with the two sitting on the edges of a bed with their backs to each other, wheezing for air. Although Hamilton has said that the video is about police brutality, police are on-screen for less than a minute. And aside from a few seconds of hosing, the excessive use of force that’s come to define brutality in recent months is glaringly absent. There are no guns, Tasers, or beatings. The video is a far cry from another police brutality-themed music video released last month.
The video is about the continuous fight between dark individuals and law implementation, which has left the two gatherings tired. Executive A.G. Rojas clarified, "The film starts and it feels like they have been battling for a considerable length of time, they're depleted, not a solitary punch is tossed, their viciousness is conveyed through cumbersome, crude feeling. They've just battled their way past their decisions and educated scorn toward each other. Our objective was to feature the purposelessness of the viciousness, not praise it."

I am going to relate this to my project by making a poster that shows police officers that were involved in significant police brutality events and show what they did. I will be writing wanted above their names and what they have done and how they get away with what they did. I'll be making several posters and putting them up around the area that I live in to raise awareness and show people that not all Police Officers are pure good.
