In 1991 an enormous controversy erupted after five Los Angeles police officers were caught on tape beating a motorist named Rodney King. Although there continues to be much controversy over the event, many people see it as a blatant act of discrimination. Under what circumstances would this be considered institutional discrimination?

Answer:

It will be considered institutional discrimination if the police department does nothing about situations like this and consistently condones it.

Step-by-step explanation:

institutional discrimination refers to an unjust treatment of a certain group of people by society and its institution and the police department is one of such institutions.
