Rodney King: A Push Start For the Cause

The situation in which Rodney King was violently abused and unjustifiably punished allowed for social development in the United States. While what happened to King was immoral (on the officers part), it was a key moment for the progression of equal rights for all in America. The filming of the beating allowed for the exposure of police brutality. In the open, the topic could be discussed and altered to conform to the standards of society. Without the awful actions that had been taken out on King, equality in America today would be in a worse state. Rodney King's injustice allowed for the greater justice for all in the future by making the repair of social injustice possible.
