=== L.A. Uprising (10:11) ===

[00:00:03]  Hello, I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance.
[00:00:07]  A lot of people don't want anyone watching my videos, so if you like what you see, I hope you'll send the link to some of your friends, maybe some of your enemies, too.
[00:00:16]  A Minneapolis jury found Derek Chauvin guilty on all counts, murder and manslaughter, in the George Floyd case.
[00:00:24]  There was never a chance for a fair trial.
[00:00:28]  The jurors knew that an acquittal would mean coast-to-coast arson and looting, and so they decided that, beyond a reasonable doubt, Mr. Chauvin had, right there in the street, in front of everybody, showed a depraved mind in his disregard for human life.
[00:00:46]  I'm going to tell you the story of what happened after a different jury verdict, 29 years ago, when police officers did get a fair trial.
[00:00:55]  Jurors defied the lynch mob.
[00:00:57]  And believe me, the mob was howling and voted to quit.
[00:01:03]  Los Angeles went up in flames.
[00:01:05]  It all started with a black man, Rodney King.
[00:01:09]  On March 3, 1991, he led police on a merry chase as fast as 115 miles an hour through the streets of Los Angeles.
[00:01:18]  He later said he just couldn't afford to be caught because he was on probation after a robbery conviction, was drunk.
[00:01:26]  And he'd be in bad trouble if he were arrested.
[00:01:30]  When police finally stopped the car, his two black passengers got out, obeyed police orders, and went home safely that night.
[00:01:38]  When King got out, he danced and babbled, made obscene gestures at a policewoman, and waved at a police helicopter.
[00:01:46]  The ranking officer, Stacy Kuhn, ordered four men to swarm King, take him to the ground, and cuff him.
[00:01:54]  King, who was 6'4 and weighed 240 pounds, threw them off his back, and the police thought he must be on angel dust.
[00:02:03]  His passengers thought he was high, too.
[00:02:06]  Two taser shots didn't bring him down, so Sergeant Kuhn ordered the men to use batons.
[00:02:13]  They hit him repeatedly, telling him they would stop if he would just lie still.
[00:02:19]  It took 33 baton strikes and several kicks before they could cuff him.
[00:02:25]  A man from across the street shot a video and turned it over to a TV station.
[00:02:30]  Here is some of the footage.
[00:02:32]  When Sergeant Kuhn first heard about the video, he was delighted.
[00:02:36]  He thought it would make a great training video on escalation of force.
[00:02:41]  He didn't know that the TV station had cut out the first part of the video that showed King throwing off the officers and charging them.
[00:02:48]  And so there was George Floyd-style outrage with non-stop screaming about police racism, even though King himself said he didn't think race had anything to do with it.
[00:02:59]  The media bellowed about race.
[00:03:02]  In the month that followed his arrest, the Los Angeles Times printed the name Rodney King more than 900 times.
[00:03:11]  So the officers were tried and acquitted.
[00:03:14]  The jury forewoman said that she went into the trial revulsed by what she'd seen on the video.
[00:03:21]  But after watching the whole tape and hearing all the evidence, she decided the officers were innocent.
[00:03:26]  Rioting broke out in Los Angeles almost immediately, with blacks attacking any whites they could find.
[00:03:33]  And
[00:03:40]  LAPD. The most famous attack was on truck driver Reginald Denny.
[00:04:08]  There's another driver badly beaten.
[00:04:12]  Drivers of automobiles and trucks that enter this area can expect to...
[00:04:16]  Oh, look at that.
[00:04:17]  Oh, my gosh.
[00:04:18]  Terrible. And there's no police presence down here.
[00:04:20]  They will not enter the area.
[00:04:22]  Oh, my...
[00:04:23]  Oh, these are absolutely brutal attacks on innocent drivers in that area.
[00:04:29]  This is attempted murder.
[00:04:30]  He had 91 skull fractures, but he lived.
[00:04:34]  A doctor said it was like being in a 60-mile-an-hour car crash without a seatbelt.
[00:04:39]  Even after years of rehab, he still has trouble walking or speaking.
[00:04:46]  Reginald Denny is famous only because a TV crew filmed him.
[00:04:50]  Matt Haynes, a 32-year-old white man, was riding his motorcycle with his nephew to go help a black friend whose car wouldn't start.
[00:04:58]  A mob of blacks.
[00:05:00]  Knocked them off the bike and shot and killed Haynes.
[00:05:03]  They shot his nephew three times, but he survived.
[00:05:07]  Blacks shot and killed 49-year-old Howard Epstein as he was driving.
[00:05:12]  They stripped him of valuables and ransacked the car.
[00:05:16]  Blacks smashed the windows of Jeff Kramer's car and tried to drag him out, but the seatbelt held him in.
[00:05:23]  They shot him three times, but he played dead and survived.
[00:05:28]  You have to dig deep.
[00:05:29]  To learn about these people.
[00:05:31]  Ten whites were killed in the riots.
[00:05:34]  How many of them were lynched by black mobs?
[00:05:37]  No one knows.
[00:05:39]  No one's supposed to care.
[00:05:41]  Well, this was Los Angeles after the verdict.
[00:05:44]  OCD from Engine 14 and 51st and Avalon.
[00:05:53]  We need PD here.
[00:05:55]  Fireman needs help.
[00:05:56]  We're working on PD and we cannot get any PD for you.
[00:05:59]  We have Captain Steve Ruda of the LA City Fire Department on the phone.
[00:06:04]  Captain, can you tell us how many fires are burning right now and about injuries and so on?
[00:06:10]  Right now, Chris, we have a minimum of at least 12 that we know of.
[00:06:13]  Light force 50, roger.
[00:06:15]  We're working on PD right now.
[00:06:16]  If it gets bad, just pull out.
[00:06:18]  Oh, thank you, sir.
[00:06:20]  See, Kelly.
[00:06:22]  Oh, PD from PES, Light force 35, 31st and Western.
[00:06:26]  We have a fireman shot.
[00:06:27]  We have a fireman shot.
[00:06:28]  We need to help immediately.
[00:06:30]  We need to have police escort into those.
[00:06:33]  Later, things got worse.
[00:06:39]  Of course, There was looting.
[00:06:52]  you can see the uh marika if you'll just uh zoom in there tom's liquor store is in the process of being
[00:06:59]  While the looting seems to continue unabated,
[00:07:16]  the mood, at least, seems to be very calm today.
[00:07:22]  We get right through there.
[00:07:23]  It says factory direct sale.
[00:07:24]  This is the biggest sale they've probably ever seen.
[00:07:27]  It's like people are looting anything they can get their hands on.
[00:07:30]  Here's a guy with a plant, even, coming right out the front window and taking off.
[00:07:34]  Some black businesses were destroyed.
[00:07:37]  In black ghettos, some businesses tried this.
[00:07:40]  Often, it didn't work.
[00:07:42]  It's not right!
[00:07:44]  It's not right what y'all do!
[00:07:46]  I came from the ghetto, too!
[00:07:53]  You mad at the white man!
[00:07:55]  Why did you join my business?
[00:07:56]  Thank you.
[00:07:57]  Blacks hate Koreans because they come into black neighborhoods and start successful businesses.
[00:08:03]  So the mob looted or burned more than 2,300 Korean-owned businesses, which accounted for about half the damage to the city.
[00:08:12]  This is what it was like for one lady.
[00:08:43]  *Royal music* *Royal music* *Royal music* *Royal music* *Royal music*
[00:09:17]  music*
[00:09:29]  Some Koreans fought back.
[00:09:35]  I took everything, liquor, beer.
[00:09:38]  When you got here, you said people were still inside the store.
[00:09:41]  What did you do?
[00:09:42]  Still inside.
[00:09:43]  I shot eight times, everybody moved.
[00:09:47]  Here are more Koreans in action.
[00:09:49]  There are some cars that have some guns and they're shooting back at the Koreans here.
[00:09:53]  They're in the middle of a gunfight.
[00:09:54]  Seems like someone's been shot.

=== National Guard Presence Felt (03:15) ===

[00:10:13]  Where? Someone's been shot in the car?
[00:10:17]  I think we should get out of here.
[00:10:19]  Sean, you're up to see what I think is.
[00:10:21]  I think it is.
[00:10:22]  The rioting went on for six days.
[00:10:25]  A total of 54 people died.
[00:10:27]  There was a billion dollars in damage.
[00:10:30]  And it took 10,000 National Guardsmen to bring peace.
[00:10:34]  Deputies from the Lakewood Sheriff's substation are escorting California National Guardsmen into the Crenshaw District.
[00:10:42]  The National Guard presence is being felt here and seen.
[00:10:47]  I just saw armored vehicles with troops.
[00:10:51]  Armed with M-16s out on Martin Luther King Boulevard.
[00:10:57]  The California Army National Guard has been deployed to assist the Sheriff's Department and Los Angeles Police Department in a mutual aid operation to restore law and order and to protect life and property in Los Angeles County.
[00:11:16]  Just as it did for George Floyd, rioting worked.
[00:11:20]  Thousands and thousands of rioters couldn't all be wrong, right?
[00:11:24]  The media, who said it was pure racism, couldn't be wrong either, right?
[00:11:29]  So, the federal government used its favorite gimmick to get around double jeopardy and charge the officers with depriving King of his civil rights.
[00:11:37]  And, wow, they got a conviction.
[00:11:40]  After the worst mayhem since the New York City draft riots of 1863, a high school kid could have got a conviction.
[00:11:47]  And what became of motorist Rodney King, as the media loved to call him.
[00:11:53]  He was never charged for his drunk driving, violating parole, reckless driving, or resisting arrest.
[00:12:00]  Here he is, three days after the beating.
[00:12:04]  Much was made of the fact that he had some broken bones.
[00:12:07]  But just a few weeks later, he was feeling chipper enough to solicit a transvestite prostitute and try to run over the cop who tried to stop him.
[00:12:16]  In 1993, the city of Los Angeles paid him $3.8 million.
[00:12:21]  He blew most of it trying to start a record label.
[00:12:25]  He went on to get himself arrested at least 11 more times for such things as hit-and-run, domestic violence, indecent exposure, and drunk driving.
[00:12:37]  On June 17, 2012, he tanked up on alcohol and drugs and drowned in a swimming pool, age 47. But this small-time thug taught black people an important lesson.
[00:12:51]  If you loot and burn like you really mean it, you'll get what you want.
[00:12:56]  You'll get a lot more than groceries.
[00:12:58]  And King taught white people the same lesson.
[00:13:02]  If the media egg on the black people and enough of them go crazy, it's your patriotic duty to do what they want.
[00:13:10]  And as we saw just this week, these are lessons the country is not about.
