L.A. Riots Basically, some cops beat down a defenseless African American after a car chase. Although he was a victim of police brutality, the jury found the officers not guilty. The jury, and the officers, happened to be all white. Then there was an uprising and a lot of crimes involving arson, murders and looting were committed. The riots lasted six days and a few other key figures were involved as well. Google it, really a fascinating story.
