History

Historical Context

The April 29, 1992 acquittal of LAPD officers in the Rodney King case ignited six days of riots that left 63 dead, injured 2,383, and caused over $1 billion in damage, exposing deep racial, economic, and police-community tensions in Los Angeles. Those dynamics have shaped later security measures for large-scale events, including NBA playoff games.
