The Los Angeles Riots occurred in April and May 1992, following the acquittal of four police officers involved in the beating of African American motorist Rodney King. The verdict sparked outrage, leading to widespread protests that escalated into violent riots, looting, and arson across the city. Over six days, the unrest resulted in significant property damage and numerous injuries. The riots highlighted deep-seated issues of racial tension and police brutality in the United States. In total, more than 50 people lost their lives, and thousands were injured. The events prompted discussions about race relations, law enforcement practices, and the need for social reform.
