Twenty years ago, Los Angeles erupted in riots after four cops were acquitted in the videotaped beating of Rodney King.
I recall the LA riots because my brother had just moved out to Los Angeles to start a job with NBC at Jay Leno's tonight show.
Here are some thougts I have twenty years after the riots...
First off too many on the left and so called civil rights leaders condoned the riots by saying young blacks are tired of not being treated right instead of saying we are a nation of laws.
Those who condemned the police in Los Angeles where are they when cops are shot or abused.
Above all the riots happened because the break down of the family and value free education. In too many homes and schools and even in some churches young people are not being taught the right values. The jury ruling was just an excuse for the riots but the main reason the riots took place was the break down of values.
What do you think?
Until next time,
I'm Billy David Dickson
