About Design of LAPD We Treat You Like A King T Shirt
“This L.A.P.D. We Treat You Like a King” is a controversial and sarcastic quote from the infamous case of police brutality in Los Angeles in 1991.
“L.A.P.D. We Treat You Like a King” is a mockery of the Los Angeles Police Department (L.A.P.D.), accused of using excessive force and violating the civil rights of Rodney King, a Black motorist who four White officers beat after a high-speed chase. A bystander captured The incident on video, and sparked nationwide outrage and protests.
The trial of the four officers resulted in their acquittal, which triggered the 1992 Los Angeles riots, one of the worst episodes of civil unrest in U.S. history. The riots lasted six days, leaving more than 50 people dead, thousands injured, and hundreds of millions of dollars in property damage. The riots also exposed the deep racial and economic inequalities that plagued the city and the country.
The design is also a bold way of expressing your opinion and perspective on the issue of police brutality and racism.
