They’re widely called the L.A. riots, those violent street protests that followed the 1992 not guilty verdict in the case of four white L.A.P.D. officers captured on videotape violently beating black motorist Rodney King. But others call them “the L.A. uprisings,” and 25 years later, the racial and societal divisions exposed by that event and court case have, sadly, been repeated and amplified in the many years since. “Can’t we all just get along?” King famously pleaded after all the post-verdict violence erupted. It’s a question that still needs answering – and Boys n the Hood director John Singleton, one of several documentarians noting the event’s anniversary this week, tries to answer it in this two-hour study, which looks not only at the police brutality case involving King, but of the many nationally infamous cases that have occurred since.
