Detroit 1967 Riot Analysis

It appears that both riots occurred because of the discrimination against the black communities, the Detroit 1967 Riot was because of the unnecessary raids on the black communities, more specifically the bar where it all began and the Los Angeles 1992 riot was due to the police officers that were acquitted in the beating of Rodney. Even though the bar was unlicensed, the black communities felt that they’ve had enough of the police brutality as well as the racism and discrimination against them. The similarities are the racism and discrimination against the black communities and police officers abusing their power mainly against the black communities. The difference is the reason it started and it was at a different time, but the racism is still very much present 25 years after the Detroit riot of 1967 and to this day as well.

Even sometimes, the media would manipulate what kind of content they want to show the public to incite riots because 90% of the media is controlled by 6 corporations in the USA and that’s too much power for any corporation to have concerning the current events and news the public watch to get the information
