Los Angeles riots: 25 years later
On the afternoon of April 29, 1992, a jury in Ventura County acquitted four LAPD officers of beating Rodney G. King. The incident, caught on amateur videotape, had sparked national debate about police brutality and racial injustice. The verdict stunned Los Angeles, and the riots that followed lasted for five days. More than 60 people lost their lives amid the looting and fires that ravaged the city.
