Arthur McDuffieとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Arthur McDuffie (circa 1946 – December 21, 1979) was an African American who died as a result of injuried suffered at the hands of five white Miami-Dade police officers after a traffic stop. He had led the officers on a high-speed chase on his motorcycle, and was driving with a suspended license. The officers were acquitted of charges in McDuffie's death. One of the worst race riots in United States history broke out in African-American neighborhoods in Miami after the officers' acquittals. The federal government tried Veverka, one of the officers, on civil rights violations in 1980; he was acquitted. In 1981 Dade County paid McDuffie's family a settlement of $1.1 million after it filed a civil lawsuit against the officials.
