One fateful night in Los Angeles, and an incident between police and a man named Rodney King eventually ignited the powder keg of civil unrest in Southern California, also known as the L.A. Riots.
This episode delves into issues of police brutality, racial bias, court proceedings, and what it's like to be a reporter on the inside of history as it's happening. Please note that all thoughts expressed in this episode are of the individuals, and not an entity.
This is what you didn't know about the Rodney King beating and police trial.
