I'm not sure if this is new or old but I got roped into last night on Nat Geo. Anybody else seen it?
I thought it was awesome all the footage they had and stuff I hadn't seen before. Crazy times.

Watched last night. Felt for the people getting drug out of their cars at that intersection.

Watched it last night but didn't see a thread
I was only a little kid at the time so no personal perspective but it made me pretty angry and also sad to see so many innocent people brutally killed like that. I understand the LAPD had brutal tactics at times but what does burning half your city solve?
The Koreans were pretty awesome

The Natasha Harlins things was a lot worse to me than what happened to King.

because they went way, way, way too far
That shite was the definition of police brutality. Yeah he was running, but they just kept at it.
The police should have been convicted. Not to be a scapegoat to keep the peace but because they actually broke the law.

Doesn't matter, the dude led them on a 8 min. long high speed chase drunk putting who knows how many other people's lives in danger and then tried to resist arrest once they finally stopped him and broke a few bones.
The other girl was a teenager trying to get some Orange Juice and got shot in the back of the head.

1992 - Rodney King gets pulled over, resists arrest & gets the shite beat out of him, survives the beating. People riot.
2017 - Rodney King - Rodney King gets pulled over at gunpoint, resists arrest & gets 3 or 4 clips emptied into him. People riot.

The azn bitch doing zero jail time was a farce.

That judge was a moron for doing that.

Yea that was unbelievable.
Besides just because you don't think someone will kill someone else doesn't mean they shouldn't have to pay for the one they did kill.

Yeah I can't believe that she let that woman off like that. To have someone convicted of VM like that, and no jail time. Wow.

That was some truly disturbing footage.

It was, but you know I almost don't blame those people. What was done at that intersection pales in comparison to the beatings and murders that the LAPD was handing down on that community for decades. They had enough.
Doesn't make it right though.

Them Koreans don't frick around. They were ready for war.

I thought it was an interesting documentary. Almost like a distanced cousin to the OJ 30/30. I will say that the 30/30 documentary put more of the violence and looting on the hands of the LAPD Chief of Police. I never knew that the reserve army was not deployed until later on.

Honestly, the couple of idiots at the end being interviewed pissed me off. They kept offering extremely flimsy disclaimers while justifying the beating of Reginald Denny. frick those thugs.

I watched yesterday after reading this thread. I thought it was well done. A lot of the Korean stuff I knew nothing about, never even knew it happened. It was wild how they were just having shootouts with people passing by. I like documentaries that is just footage with sound. Makes you feel like you are witnessing it as it happens.

I knew about the Reginald Denny beating and the robbery of drivers on Florence and Normandie. However, I did not know about the beating of Fidel Lopez and the Reverend that saved his life.
I'll never find a way to justify the beating of random people and the burning of the city. But it doesn't surprise me. It seems like a slow boil that finally blew up because people were (and still are) feed up with the LAPD.
Also, did anyone else find it a bit funny that the public was showing up to the trial like it was a concert?

Of all the things that bothered me that older black dude who had just had his business robbed or something that was berating everyone around him talking about how he came up through the ghetto too. That was heavy. I felt worse for that guy than anyone else.
