Apparently you are either younger than you claim or you've forgotten about the Rodney King trials.


Well, I partly see your point, but not completely.

There were riots and intimidation in 1991, but they were not successful in bending the law.

The four cops who beat up Rodney King were exonerated by a jury...


Which resulted in the riots. Which resulted in the federal government trying them a second time, "as a balm to a minority community outraged by what it perceived as a miscarriage of justice."
