NOTE: IRHAW = Inciting Racial Hatred Against Whites

The 1992 Los Angeles Riots, also known as the [color="Blue"]LA1992 content-of-character chimp-out, Rodney King Riots, [color="Blue"]LA Fuck the Human Legal System chimp-out, the South Central Riots, the 1992 Los Angeles Civil Disturbance, and the 1992 Los Angeles Civil Unrest, were a series of riots, lootings, arsons, [color="blue"]stealing, killing, raping and civil disturbance that occurred in Los Angeles County, California in 1992, following the acquittal of police officers on trial regarding a videotaped, and widely covered police brutality [color="blue"]animal capture incident. They were the largest [color="blue"]race riots seen in the United States since the 1960s and the worst in terms of death toll after the New York City draft riots in 1863.

The riot was first started in South Los Angeles and then eventually spread out into other areas over a six-day period within the Los Angeles metropolitan area in California beginning in April 1992. The riots started on April 29 after a trial jury acquitted four Los Angeles Police Department officers of assault and use of excessive force. The mostly white officers were videotaped beating [color="blue"]trying to take down an African-American man [color="blue"]heavily drugged wild nigger buck beast named Rodney King following a high-speed police pursuit. Thousands of people [color="blue"]nigger savages throughout the metropolitan area in Los Angeles rioted over six days following the announcement of the verdict.

Widespread looting, assault, arson and murder occurred during the riots, and estimates of property damages topped one billion dollars. The rioting ended after soldiers from the California Army National Guard, the 7th Infantry Division, and marines from 1st Marine Division were called in to stop the rioting after the local police could not handle the situation. In total, 53 people were killed [color="blue"](other sources say 60) during the riots and over 2,000 people were injured.

After the riots subsided significant actions were undertaken in the Los Angeles Police Department including the retrial of the police officers involved, increasing minority officers in the police department, analyzing excessive force, resignation of the police chief, loss of support for the Mayor of Los Angeles, and analyzing the general political and economic atmosphere that contributed to the riots.
