That part!

[@connielindsay412]

and today everything is still , what is the real story.

[@1love1people]

The end part is misleading. The riots of the 1990s were not murder riots, they were property riots. There is a huge difference.

[@jonathandudley6250]

no they weren't

"Of those killed during the riots, 2 were Asian, 28 were black, 19 were Latino, and 15 were white. No law enforcement officials died during the riots." en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1992_Los_Angeles_riots

[@lorenzopowell7079]
