The document summarizes racial riots that occurred in the United States in the 1990s. It involved African Americans, Korean Americans, Mexican Americans, and the police force. The riots were triggered by the beating of Rodney King and the shooting of Latasha Harlins. Prejudice and discrimination against African Americans by others, including police brutality, led to tensions. Economic and social factors also contributed to unrest, as the African American community faced high unemployment, poverty, and segregation with a lack of opportunities. The 1992 LA riots that broke out resulted in 53 deaths and over $1 billion in property damage.
