 * Rodney King**, who is best known for his involvement in //police brutality in Los Angeles on March 3, 1991//, which was recorded. The footage showed **Caucasian LAPD officers striking King with batons.** This footage was shown on news agencies around the world, which caused public outrages that created tension between the black community and the police departments and created anger over police brutality and social equalities. This situation was the uprising of the //1992 Los Angeles Civil Unrest or, the 1992 Los Angeles Riots//, but what caused the riots were when the white police officers got off easy and were found innocent and had only charges formally filed against them. The riots began the evening after the verdicts, which went on for several days. A curfew was created and the National Guard was called on to help with the situation. **Within the riots 53 people were killed and 2,000 pe[[image:rodney-king.jpg align="right" caption="Rodney King Incident With The LAPD"]]ople were left injured**. **Millions of dollars’ worth of damage** was caused. Many buildings were destroyed due to fires and looting of stores. **African-Americans and Hispanics were the main races** that took a part in the riots, most likely due to racial inequality.

//In 1995, the verdict of the OJ Trial was announced and he was proven innocent//. The jury that proved him not guilty was composed of **nine African-Americans, one Hispanic, and two Caucasian-Americans**. __Many believed that OJ couldn’t have committed the crime, because of who he is, so it makes you think whether the decision to let OJ go was **influenced by raise, fame, or money**? But what would have happened if he was proven guilty?__ After the **Rodney King** incident racial tensions had been high. The **African-American society supported him in the trial**, because of his race. //On October 3, 1995 **Orenthal James Simpson** was proven guilty// the African-American society would have been outraged. They would have felt as if there was racial inequality; they would have felt that he was proven guilty, because of his race. //This would have cause the 1995 Los Angeles Riots//. The riots would hurt the economy of the city of Los Angeles, because many people would go out looting from stores, which would cause many to go out of business. People would run ramped through the city; buildings would be set on fire. Reinforcement from the National Guard would have to come into the city to help stop the commotion, the whole //1992 Los Angeles Riots would reoccur.//
