The Watts Riots: The tragedy of Injustice

Throughout the history of the United States there has always been public dispute between African Americans and white people even to this day. Though nowadays it isn’t as bad as it was compared to 50 years ago  when police brutality was one of the main causes of it all. Riots occasionally did break out because of white cops abusing black people and arresting them without any evidence to back their claims up. One of the worst in U.S history is probably the Watts riots in L.A. of 1965. It all started one day when two cops scuffled against a black motorist suspected of drunk driving. People began to think this was another example of racially unequal justice. People soon talked back and eventually chaos ensued with many people injured and millions of dollars in property damage that even left some dead. When you think about it it’s no surprised threats and other forms of violence were being done like with this. Think long and hard the next time you think about doing something like that to someone else.
