Thursday 9/18

Today in class Val brought up the irony of the blacks during the LA riots. This involved the blacks being treated unfairly before the Rodney King incident, and then during the riots the blacks targeted anybody who wasn't black. According to the documentary, they did it because they were mad, but I think it was also because they thought they could get away with it because the four police officers had gotten away with it when they beat Rodney King. The part I am curious about is if the people who did the beating in the intersection where ever caught, and if they were, if they were brought to justice.
