Yesterday in class, we finished up the video on the Samoan players, who were labeled as “big and tall” which was the reason believed that they made it to NFL, but the reality was that it wasn't about how big they were. It was about how they were disciplined as children. To them it wasn't just football, it was something that they did with full commitment and dedication.  It was amazing to see how good they were at football with only a few years of playing, starting in High school.

Today in small group we watched the video “sellebrity”, which was basically showing us the concept of people being labeled and it not always being in positive ways. The celebrities  spoke of their experiences and as we watched we filled out our worksheet with examples.

Today in large group, we finished watching the Rodney King documentary. Basically, we started right back up where people began to riot. Buildings were being destroyed and then set on fire, which was sending a clear message to the Police enforcement's that they wanted justice for Rodney King. It resulted in having another trial because the president believed that the police officers violated King’s civil rights and should be charged. The court resulted in two officers found guilty and two not. Something i found interesting was that the two force experts had completely different policies for excessive use of force. It made me question how they really new what the real Los Angeles Police Department policy was.
