I live in SoCal and lived in LA county at the time. It was a horrific event and lucky that someone was there to film the event. Also luckily that people have video capabilities in their pocket at all time to document bad behavior such as this. I never understood how the jury came to acquit with the evidence at hand. The riots that followed were bad. I remember being stuck in a hotel where I was working and my wife being home alone with stores being looted and burnt in between. Scary *****.
