When Los Angeles Burned: Remembering the LA Riots 25 Years Later
Following the acquittal of police officers for the brutal beating of Rodney King, as well as a light sentence for a Korean shopkeeper in the shooting death of Latasha Harlins, the LA riots began. From April 29 – May 4, 1992, South Central was beset by mass riots, looting, and fires. Over 11,000 people were arrested and an estimated 63 people were killed, including 10 by police.

8. Riots Now
A state of emergency has been declared in Baltimore, Maryland as the city continues to be plagued by violence, looting and protests. The violent protests stemmed from the death of 25-year-old, Freddie Gray, the nation’s newest symbol of police brutality. […] By nightfall, peaceful protests had turned into violence and looting. Baltimore authorities received threats of violence from many sources, including news that members of various gangs, including the Black Guerrilla Family, Bloods and Crips, had “entered into a partnership to ‘take out’ law enforcement officers.”
