The riot of 1992 did a lot. Bush Senior made sure the officers involved in the Rodney King Beating were brought up on federal charges.

The feds monitored the LAPD for over a decade.

I was born and raised in South Central Los Angeles. I saw a lot of changes after the 1992 riots.
I know you're trying to join the Black men hating cliq, but know your facts before you post on here.

I'm happy for you. Really...

You can take a McDonald's, offer valet parking, table service, and live classical music and it's still the same fatty, artery clogging, poison that it was yesterday. The aftermath of the riots did what they were intended to do, they made you feel good. Nothing more.

Fail.

I was against the rioting.

However, changes were made.

You're trying too hard to be anti Black.

Reading isn't your strong suit, is it?

Bottom line: you believe whatever you need to that helps you get to sleep at night. What you eat doesn't make me shit; I'm just merely offering my insight.

Let's not forget that Bush Senior made sure the AG investigated the beating. The officers who found not guilty by the local court were found guilty in federal court.

Your insight is based on bigotry. My insight is based on facts.

1) It introduced a reluctant symbol, rather than a selected civil rights hero: The Rev. Al Sharpton called Rodney King "a symbol of civil rights," but in interviews with CNN, King was hesitant to be a symbol, much less a hero...

2) Captured on video by a citizen ... Long before smartphones with video cameras, this submission in 1991 was still a novelty to newsrooms, and now common practice.

3) 'The problem of excessive force in American policing is real': After the beating was televised, the Christopher Commission, an independent group, was established to conduct an unprecedented investigation and examination of the Los Angeles Police Department. In the report, the commission notes that 10 police chiefs from large cities met, and concluded that police violence was not unique to Los Angeles.

Quote:

 

4) Composition of police department and jurors ... Changes in police hires and a focus on the police department’s community relationships became a key result of the Rodney King beating, and the riots. It also elevated the discussion of the racial composition of juries and the location of trials. It was not the first time these considerations were discussed, but the case became a benchmark for teaching best practices both in police departments and jury selection.

Wow, when I called you 'Banjo Boy', it was just an off the cuff snarky insult. However, you are proving that you are truly mentally deficient and earned that nickname.

Did you even bother to read the article you posted? My guess is, you didn't. You probably went to Google and typed 'how did rodney king riots change america' and posted up the first link you thought would make you look good. That's pretty accurate, huh? Let's look at your 'changes' (LMAO):

TL;DR (Too long, didn't read): You're an idiot and failed spectacularly!!

OK, sure. We had a regular day-to-day person become a symbol of peace and tolerance instead of some other nationally recognized person. I'll throw that to you. And the legacy King left behind? Hmmm, an addict who squandered his time and money and died by drowning while being higher than giraffe pussy. So that one I just gave you, I'm going to have to take that back. Let's continue.

What the hell is this horse shit? While CNN may have considered it a novelty, user submitted video had happened a number of times prior to King. The Jimmy Swaggart and Marion Berry stories readily come to mind. Let's also not forget that at that time, the average price of a video camera was around $1000 and they were fairly large and clunky and uncommon. Technology has changed, they've become more accessible, and they are present in more devices. More stories broken by amateurs has to do more so with technology rather than the riots.

Feel free to stop reading and end the slaughter, or continue...

This one was my favorite. It led to an unprecedented investigation. WOOOOOOOOOO! And the findings (which amounted to saying "water is wet") led to?

JACK SHIT.

Ooooooh, look here, an ACTUAL change, kinda sorta... You got one point!

Oh, look, more talking and even more not-doing. That's always helpful.

I suppose no one has an answer to my question. How did the first round of riots help the people in Ferguson?
