Introduction:
In 1992, the city of Los Angeles experienced one of the most significant civil unrests in its history. Known as the L.A. riots, these violent demonstrations erupted in response to the acquittal of four police officers involved in the brutal beating of African-American motorist Rodney King. Lasting for six days in October, this event marked a dramatic turning point in the relationship between law enforcement and the marginalized communities of Los Angeles. The riots not only brought profound destruction and loss of life but also shed light on deep-rooted social and racial tensions simmering beneath the surface of this bustling metropolis.
