On April 29, 1992, four LAPD officers were acquitted on charges of beating black motorist Rodney King. The verdict sparked a six-day furor in South Central L.A. that left more than 50 people dead and $1 billion in damages. The beating may have gone unnoticed if not for a nearby witness who had videotaped the attack. The domino effect of violence that the acquittal sparked played out on televisions across the country.
