https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tx4vKHTNuAcBurn Motherf*cker, Burn!: A provocative documentary look into the 1992 Los Angeles uprising. Don't miss the premiere on Friday April 21st at 9 PM ET/PT.
On April 29, 1992, Los Angeles exploded when four police officers were acquitted in the beating of Rodney King. But the city had been smoldering for years. This provocative documentary looks at how decades of racial tensions, injustice and a troubled relationship between the LAPD and the African-American community led to the uprising. Local residents, artists and community organizers share firsthand accounts of police brutality, the ‘65 Watts riots, the rise of LA street gangs and the ‘92 incident.

theres like 5 different documentaries coming out about the l.a riots but none of them have footage of my uncle running with a box of hot cheetos
the lapd initially made the decision to let fans go home from the dodger game without telling them anything was wrong
i remember my uncle telling me that him and his friends were there and while coming home on the hollywood freeway they were stopped by people running through traffic and there were palm trees on fire lol
they had no idea what was going on -
i plan on watching all these docs on the la riots
theyre giving another one this friday on abc and another one on saturday on the nat geo channel -

What ‘Menace II Society’ and ‘Boyz n the Hood’ can teach us about the L.A. riots
this was a really good read -

Having actually experienced it (was living off Imperial & Central, right in the ? damn middle of all of it) and having seen how the OJ 30 for 30 covered it... it's hard to summon the interest, but Ima watch it eventually. -

Watching it right now.
How many black owned businesses reopened after all the chaos? -
It shows you how things have not changed. The same issues that caused the riots are still here and no one is talking about it outside of blacks.

I'm watching the A&E one right now. The Nat Geo special last night was good. Seen some footage I had never seen before.
The 1965 Watts riots must always be referenced. The ? was going to explode soon enough. -

The funny thing is that there are white people in these docs speaking truth. Like you said, that ? burns them. -
This cracka said when he first got to LA he thought black people were gonna be like the black people in song of the south.

My first time seeing any video of white people looting, the only white person the media would show is Reginald Denny taking that ass whoopin.
