the The answers heavily studied by Trump Administration In continuous protests of Los Angeles reveals what little imagination is the imagination of politicians to reach the reasons and consequences of society. Last Friday, in response to increasingly bold and no attacks on immigration and customs implementation, Aelenos started big protests. They have moved supporting family members, friends and neighbors who are not troubled removed from their communities, often without sound legal justification.
As an attitude of behavior studying psychological trauma, I spend a lot of time talking to people about their mental health and what motivates them to move. The goal is to understand what keeps it at night and what helps hide them, to get what they do next. This is an intuitive process. Anxiety about the more useless ice attacks is clearly one of the things that hides thousands of healing protests and the lonely moments of ruining property and theft.
Scholars re-evaluated after chaos. Studies of protests from around the world Show that participants rarely leave emotionally. For protesters and protesters against, feelings of hostility, disgust and despair will always continue to leave. These kinds of results are worse when violence – from protesters, law enforcement or military element – part of the equation.
Protests like those in LA this week are not easy. Their Genesis is usually rooted in the known denial of their civil rights or physical and psychological safety. A protest is a way of expressing feelings of rejection. Some argue that demonstrations occasionally A response to collective trauma.
Whatever spark is for larger social revulsions, most researchers and activists can correctly see harmful riots and steals as the best, poorly dispute with protests. Vandalism and Hooliganism disturbing from Purposes of Demonstrations Protected by Constitution – and this infringes is a more dangerous danger to a time of mass media and hyper-polarized audiences here in the US
Depending on the quality of your news sources, you can mean Los Angeles is a war of war now – even if life of the quide, is normal life, it’s normal.
Reality is not important, however; The understanding of many Americans is that LA consumed the riots and transgressions, which were exactly the hope of President Trump. She is more expected that people with misunderstanding later come to see a little difference between a nadelde protest and chaos. If that happens, he knows they are more likely to allow and accommodate the types of responses to the strongest we have now seen today.
Americans do not agree to mostly when protests are appropriate. art Poll held at 2023 by Youngov It is known that people are likely to find protest tactics to receive if the tactics supported by a reason they prefer. Obviously, many people hope for those who disagree with them to package their annoyance as unable to change as much as possible, it is good to make it unseen and invisible.
But some politicians seem to be at the time of their political enemies. In recent protests in LA, Trump saw a primary opening To send to the National Guard and later sailorsfinally breaks an itch that’s up to him – dating back to summer 2020 when Protesters are led to the country to protest George Floyd’s murder – To use military force in America’s land.
Of course, LA, something in a vanguard if it protested, and especially in protest with riots. Civic Civic Civic Meltddowns is usually measured in terms of people killed and damaged by property. Watts Riots in 1965, driven by police violence against the black population of the city, killed 34 people and cause $ 40 million damage (equal to about $ 300 million today). In 1992 la riot, another act of resistance in response to police violence against black people, 63 People are killedand losses reach a Running $ 1 billion (About $ 2 billion today). It’s fine, so far, There are only a few injuries reported In today’s demonstration, and no death. There is no sense of property tax, which is certain to get a lot of attention from demonizing the protesters and their causes.
Our real study should be in psychological value. A large study of mental health results after different protests It is intended that the spread of major depressions of the affected community increased by 7%, whatever personally involved a person in the protest. The spread of post-traumatic stress stress disease from 4% of an impressive 41% In areas affected by protests, riots and revolutions. And that effects also show the law enforcement officials to intervene. For example, in a study of LAPD officers following 1992 riots, 17% later Displays symptoms In accordance with post-traumatic stress disorder, including avoidance and emotional resignation. Similar consequences are observed among Ferguson law enforcement, MO. In 2014, after the troubles there was after the killing of a black teenager, Michael Brown. More recently, US capital officials reported PTSD-like symptoms After insulting Trump-inspired January 6, 2021.
A primary political trope in America and the free speech spokes is that opposition makes for a healthy democracy. But it is more than anything – especially opposition – becomes an American psyche albatross. And there are deeper consequences of our seemingly endless opposition: It is likely to continue to arrive in the form of protests and distress.
In the eyes of average American, the US is in an endless state of chaos at least in the last decade. In the last five years alone, the US was forced to protests on the beach – after Floyd’s killing in Minneapolis in the hands of Gaza, and today in Los Angeles and somewhere in the US over the ice ice attacks attack. If the dog removes, psychological psychological trauma to those on the grounds of the protest, and Even those who change it revealed through social media and TV reports.
If the protests responds or violents, and normalized it, the Pandora box will be opened. It may have been with Trump’s quixotic decision to send non-LA troops to militarization to a community or in the form of few occupations of those who need to be occupied. Best, we consider interventions through official policing that should be bad. At least when about our own Community, most of us appear to want to live in spaces that is reasonably painted But the selected representatives are still handled. We are a more opportunity now when we can imagine how it can be lost – as we see the efforts of Ice and other Ice providers and other Ice providers.
Although one feels about the backlash against the ice, or the reaction of the federal government of the protesters who supported their immigrant neighbors, the majority of the political theater and the banks of the road were not good for nation – and prevented.
With the last hope of removing the need for protests like this, I was reminded of what A research participant once told me: We have as much capacity to make trauma for each other as to eliminate it.
