Explanation:
Citizen participation
More and more people are taking the initiative to make their local neighbourhood more liveable, for instance by helping to maintain playgrounds or green spaces. As a result, the relationship between government and society is changing.
Citizen participation
Many people feel a sense of commitment to their neighbourhood and are actively involved in activities to improve the quality of life there. This is called ‘citizen participation’. For example, local residents engage in voluntary work, organise litter-clearing campaigns, set up collectives to purchase solar panels or form local care cooperatives. They may also be involved in the decision-making about the municipal budget.
Government participation
As local residents become more involved in public life, the role of government needs to adapt and take greater account of initiatives in the community. This is called 'government participation'. It means local authorities playing a more supportive role, for instance by providing facilities or making them available. In addition, municipalities can use neighbourhood budgets to help residents get things done in their area.
Do-ocracy: new ways for citizens and government to work together
Active citizens don't want the government to provide standard solutions for everything. They prefer a tailor-made approach and authorities that think along with them. So citizens and government are devising new ways of relating to each other and working together – in what is often called a 'do-ocracy'. Central government is keen to promote and support this form of democratic collaboration.
Government support for citizen participation
The government can support citizen participation in various ways, for instance by abolishing unnecessary rules and regulations wherever possible. Like the complex application procedures volunteers sometimes have to contend with to obtain funding for their activities.
Answer:
George Floyd's death occurred on May 25, 2020, when Derek Chauvin - a white police officer - arrested Floyd and knelt on his neck for approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds after he was handcuffed and lay face down on the floor.
The incident was filmed by several attendees who asked Chauvin to remove his knee from Floyd's neck. Likewise, the police officers were wearing body cameras, which also recorded the entire interaction with Floyd. Although the footage from operated body cameras was eventually also released, this did not happen until months after the incident itself and the publication of the private video footage. The day after the arrest - after several eyewitnesses had released their video footage of the incident - all four police officers were fired. Two autopsy reports subsequently found that Floyd had been killed, although the conclusions of the two reports as to the cause of death are not conclusive.
The incident, including in particular various video recordings, created a great deal of attention worldwide. In the United States, the incident led to large-scale demonstrations organized by Black Lives Matter around various American cities. Several of the demonstrations in the United States were accompanied by various forms of swelling, violence, street fighting and other forms of crime. President Donald Trump in several cases ended up approving the deployment of extra police officers to reduce the violence that ensued following the demonstrations. The case was a wake-up call to American society regarding institutional racism, especially in police agencies, as well as a sign of their brutality.
