Los Angeles Riots

[@AntiMasonic93]

Man, I was born in 1981. I was 11 years old in elementary school when the 92' riots happened. What a dark time for Los Angeles!

[@johnroberts7018]

All dey wuz doin wuz lootin baby food and Pampers fo' dey kids.

[@Elsupermayan8870]

I remember when this was going on. I also remember when Bill Cosby told the enraged residents of South Central LA to calm down go home and watch the last episode of The Cosby Show.

[@HurricaneCamille-us6mp]

Are you serious? If that's true Bill Cosby was clearly far removed from the reality of black people and simply lived in his utopia of white validation. That's hilariously pathetic.

[@itsrobert2742]

Wow I cant believe it's been 30 years

[@elgeneralxx]

[@technowarriorstv]

[@jamesmoss3424]

It was hell on earth in L.A at the time.

[@soniasg8639]

Yes it was.

[@thing73vw]

[@TempoDrift1480]

Yup. Never underestimate dumb people in large numbers.

[@NationGamer090]

especially 92 and 97, there was some in between, but not as severe as those 2 years

[@whcchw]

Wow, if you listen close you can hear the thud from the round hitting the news helicopter over Slauson.

[@gregv79]

Good footage. 👍

[@gregv79]

Raw, a little grainy. That's how it was. Like OJ in the Bronco

[@TempoDrift1480]

Ah yes, the ole' suspect playing the victim scam.

[@johnroberts7018]

STFU FOO! DEY LOOTIN PAMPERS FO DEY KIDS!

[@jimmybum3337]

This looking back was the gangs of L.A in full force....

[@DanielMussen-ob7uo]

[@davidrobinson8337]

Sometimes we're on the verge of a collapse of civilization.

[@bruv790]

you mind if i use this footage for a project of mine?

[@thing73vw]

Thanks for asking. Go right ahead.

[@stevensuarez4843]

Hi. Do you have any more coverage from the LA riots?

[@thing73vw]

I don’t think so. But if I discover that I do, I will let you know.

[@stevensuarez4843]

@@thing73vw hmm. How bout the 1994 coverage of the Northridge earthquake or the oj Simpson chase?

[@thing73vw]

@@stevensuarez4843 no. I wasn't always recording the news back then. For whatever reason I just decided to record that day. I think I was in complete disbelief as to what was happening.

[@thing73vw]

I told you I would let you know when and if I had anymore riot footage... Well, I found more on a tape, and I have uploaded it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGPGmoSairWVhbM

[@thebroham21]

I was only 3 years old, I found out about this later on when I watched LA 92 on Netflix back in 2017. And then I also watched another documentary called let it fall 1982 - 1992. To this day, nothing has changed. RIP Rodney King and Latasha Harlins.🙏

[@siatelecomsltdLondon]

I don't know what was going on here, but if you want an example of what a real riot should look like, take a look at what was taking place during the 1965 Watts uprising.

[@soniasg8639]

At the time it was only in Watts. But 92 riots was all over the state.

[@TupacNation]

This was worse

[@thing73vw]

The LA riots lasted 6 days resulting in 63 people dead and 2,383 injured, 12,111 arrests and $400 million in damages. While the Watts Riots were 5 days resulting in 34 people dead, 1,032 injured, 3,438 arrested and $40 million in damages, with inflation that's $177 million in 1992. All that said, both riots are horrific.

[@fredicagoillanoise1309]

​@@TupacNationYeah 92 was much worse and widespread. The only other riot I can think of that was as widespread as LA 92 was Detroit 67 because the rioting happened throughout the city.

[@hoovyyyy]

I think it was a true story about gta sa
