Abstract

After the Rodney King case and the riots that followed, the callous murder by a policeman of a black truck driver shows that little has changed. The cynicism of both federal and state authorities who claim the task of regeneration can be left to private corporations, as local government decays, is clear. Even under a new black police chief the LAPD is disrupting attempts to negotiate a peace between neighbourhood gangs.
