LOOK AT THE LEADERSHIP
OF THE DEPARTMENT.

338
00:16:27,054 --> 00:16:29,956
CROWD: GATES GOT TO GO, NOW.

339
00:16:29,989 --> 00:16:31,524
GATES GOT TO GO NOW.
GATES GOT TO GO, NOW.

340
00:16:31,558 --> 00:16:33,626
GATES GOT TO GO, NOW.
GATES GOT TO GO, NOW.

341
00:16:33,660 --> 00:16:36,229
GATES GOT TO GO, NOW.

342
00:16:38,231 --> 00:16:40,233
ZEV YARLOSLAVSKY:
MR. PRESIDENT,

343
00:16:40,267 --> 00:16:42,702
ALL OF US I THINK
HAVE BEEN, UH,

344
00:16:42,735 --> 00:16:44,471
STUNNED BY WHAT HAS HAPPENED.

345
00:16:44,504 --> 00:16:47,507
AND, UH, I CAN'T IMAGINE THAT
THE CHIEF OR ANYBODY ELSE IN

346
00:16:47,540 --> 00:16:50,643
THE CITY WOULD CONDONE
THE KIND OF, UH,

347
00:16:50,677 --> 00:16:53,580
CONVERSATION THAT TOOK PLACE
BOTH ELECTRONICALLY AND BY

348
00:16:53,613 --> 00:16:59,586
VOICE, UH, IN THAT FOOTHILL
DIVISION THAT NIGHT.

349
00:16:59,619 --> 00:17:01,588
BLACKS ARE NOT ANIMALS.

350
00:17:01,621 --> 00:17:02,889
THEY'RE NOT LIZARDS.

351
00:17:02,922 --> 00:17:04,524
THEY'RE NOT APES.

352
00:17:04,557 --> 00:17:08,828
THEY'RE NOT GORILLAS ANY
MORE THAN ANY OF US ARE.

353
00:17:08,861 --> 00:17:10,597
THEY'RE HUMAN BEINGS.

354
00:17:10,630 --> 00:17:14,834
THE FIRST WAY TO OPEN THE DOOR
TO BRUTALIZING PEOPLE IN ANY,

355
00:17:14,867 --> 00:17:19,206
ANY PLACE IS TO CHEAPEN
THEIR WORTH AS HUMAN BEINGS.

356
00:17:19,239 --> 00:17:21,208
AND WHEN I READ THE
TRANSCRIPTS OF THE

357
00:17:21,241 --> 00:17:23,210
CONVERSATION I WAS APPALLED.

358
00:17:23,243 --> 00:17:27,614
BUT THE ABILITY TO FREELY
CONVERSE IN RACIST TERMINOLOGY

359
00:17:27,647 --> 00:17:30,617
SUGGESTS A LEVEL OF TOLERANCE
FOR THAT KIND OF DISCUSSION

360
00:17:30,650 --> 00:17:34,721
THAT, UH, THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE
BY ANY STANDARD OF DECENCY.

361
00:17:36,256 --> 00:17:38,725
DARYL GATES: WELL
FIRST OF ALL IS, UH,

362
00:17:38,758 --> 00:17:41,628
THIS IS A DEPARTMENT THAT
THIS COUNCIL HAS SUPPORTED

363
00:17:41,661 --> 00:17:42,895
OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

364
00:17:42,929 --> 00:17:45,798
THIS IS A POLICE DEPARTMENT
THAT HAS SUPPORTED YOU,

365
00:17:45,832 --> 00:17:47,567
EACH OF YOU.

366
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:48,735
I JUST TELL YOU THIS.

367
00:17:48,768 --> 00:17:52,605
IF YOU DON'T SPEAK OUT ON
BEHALF OF THE MEN AND WOMEN OF

368
00:17:52,639 --> 00:17:54,774
THE LOS ANGELES POLICE
DEPARTMENT THAT HAVE SERVED

369
00:17:54,807 --> 00:17:57,477
THE PEOPLE OF THIS CITY WELL,
IF YOU DON'T DO THAT AT THIS

370
00:17:57,510 --> 00:18:01,248
CRUCIAL MOMENT IN OUR HISTORY,
THEN I'M GONNA TELL YOU,

371
00:18:01,281 --> 00:18:03,950
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A POLICE
DEPARTMENT THAT IS NOT GOING

372
00:18:03,983 --> 00:18:05,752
TO BE THE KIND OF
DEPARTMENT THAT YOU WANT,

373
00:18:05,785 --> 00:18:07,987
THE KIND OF DEPARTMENT
THE PEOPLE DESERVE.

374
00:18:08,020 --> 00:18:09,289
MAN: MR. WOO.

375
00:18:09,322 --> 00:18:10,823
MR. WOO: THANK YOU.

376
00:18:10,857 --> 00:18:14,561
UH, I WANT TO KNOW DID
YOU MEAN THAT AS A THREAT?

377
00:18:14,594 --> 00:18:18,831
IN OTHER WORDS THAT IF, IF,
IF I OR OTHER MEMBERS OF THE

378
00:18:18,865 --> 00:18:21,668
COUNCIL ARE GOING TO BE
CRITICIZING YOU OR THE

379
00:18:21,701 --> 00:18:24,237
DEPARTMENT, ARE YOU
SAYING THAT YOU WILL,

380
00:18:24,271 --> 00:18:27,974
WILL WITHHOLD SUPPORT OF
THESE SERVICES TO FIGHT CRIME

381
00:18:28,007 --> 00:18:29,509
IN OUR DISTRICTS?

382
00:18:29,542 --> 00:18:31,944
DARYL GATES: THAT IS THE MOST
INSULTING THING I HAVE HEARD

383
00:18:31,978 --> 00:18:35,415
ON THIS COUNCIL FLOOR IN ALL
THE TIME I'VE BEEN HERE AND

384
00:18:35,448 --> 00:18:38,251
I'VE BEEN HERE A LOT LONGER
THAN YOU'VE BEEN ALIVE.

385
00:18:38,285 --> 00:18:40,353
ABSOLUTELY NOT.

386
00:18:40,387 --> 00:18:41,954
THIS IS A PROFESSIONAL
ORGANIZATION.

387
00:18:41,988 --> 00:18:44,191
WHAT DO YOU THINK WE ARE?

388
00:18:44,224 --> 00:18:46,559
[INAUDIBLE COURTROOM CHATTER].

389
00:18:57,537 --> 00:18:59,839
MAN: HE SHOVED ME
UP AGAINST THE WALL AND

390
00:18:59,872 --> 00:19:01,941
STARTED TO STRANGLE ME.

391
00:19:01,974 --> 00:19:03,976
I COULD NOT BREATHE.

392
00:19:04,010 --> 00:19:06,179
THEY TRIED TO KICK
ME IN THE TESTICLES.

393
00:19:06,213 --> 00:19:07,480
HE THREW ME ASIDE AND SAID,

394
00:19:07,514 --> 00:19:09,616
"GET THE (BLEEP)
OUT OF HERE NOW."

395
00:19:09,649 --> 00:19:11,951
THAT IS THE LAPD.

396
00:19:11,984 --> 00:19:14,254
[APPLAUSE].

397
00:19:16,823 --> 00:19:19,192
MAN 2: WE FOUND ONE CASE
WHERE A DOG ATTACKED AND

398
00:19:19,226 --> 00:19:22,061
BIT THE CHEST OF
A 16-YEAR-OLD GIRL.

399
00:19:22,094 --> 00:19:24,531
THE DOGS ARE QUITE
LARGE AND AGGRESSIVE.

400
00:19:24,564 --> 00:19:27,567
THEY WILL RIP AWAY
FLESH AND MUSCLE.

401
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,737
THEY WILL TEAR OUT BLOOD
VESSELS AND THEY WILL

402
00:19:30,770 --> 00:19:33,072
SOMETIMES BREAK BONES.

403
00:19:33,105 --> 00:19:35,308
MAN: THE POLICE SEND
OUR KIDS COMPLETELY

404
00:19:35,342 --> 00:19:36,643
CONFLICTING MESSAGES.

405
00:19:36,676 --> 00:19:39,479
THEY'RE IN OUR SCHOOLS
EVERY SINGLE DAY.

406
00:19:39,512 --> 00:19:43,983
AND YET OUR KIDS SEE THEM ON
TV BEATING A MAN LIKE A DOG.

407
00:19:44,016 --> 00:19:47,687
MAN 2: THE POLICE ARE
TRAINED TO APPROACH BLACK MEN

408
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,723
AS CRIMINALS FIRST
AND CITIZENS SECOND.

409
00:19:51,291 --> 00:19:53,025
MAN 3: BUT BEFORE YOU
LEAVE SOUTH CENTRAL,

410
00:19:53,059 --> 00:19:56,596
YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT
VERBAL ABUSE HAPPENS HERE

411
00:19:56,629 --> 00:20:00,233
EVERY DAY AND EVERY NIGHT:
"GET OUT OF THE CAR, NIGGER.

412
00:20:00,267 --> 00:20:02,001
ASSUME THE POSITION, NIGGER.

413
00:20:02,034 --> 00:20:04,170
SIT ON THE CURB, NIGGER.

414
00:20:04,203 --> 00:20:06,339
LIE FACE DOWN ON
THE GROUND, NIGGER."

415
00:20:06,373 --> 00:20:09,742
WE'RE SAYING THIS IS
WHAT WE'RE CONFRONTED WITH.

416
00:20:09,776 --> 00:20:12,178
AND WHEN WE SPEAK OUT,
THE FIRST THING THEY SAY IS,

417
00:20:12,211 --> 00:20:14,013
"WHY ARE THEY
GETTING SO RESTLESS?

418
00:20:14,046 --> 00:20:16,583
WHY SHOULD NOT
WE GET RESTLESS?

419
00:20:16,616 --> 00:20:19,386
PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT
TAKING THIS TO THE STREETS AND

420
00:20:19,419 --> 00:20:21,854
WE AIN'T TALKING
ABOUT JUST MARCHING.

421
00:20:21,888 --> 00:20:25,425
[APPLAUSE].

422
00:20:35,835 --> 00:20:38,237
CONNIE CHUNG: ANOTHER WIDELY
PUBLICIZED INCIDENT CAPTURED

423
00:20:38,271 --> 00:20:40,840
ON VIDEOTAPE IN LOS ANGELES.

424
00:20:46,313 --> 00:20:48,481
REPORTER: THIS GRAINY,
SECURITY CAMERA VIDEOTAPE

15-YEAR-OLD
LATASHA HARLINS' LIFE.

427
00:20:53,786 --> 00:20:57,156
STOREOWNER SOON JA DU THOUGHT

MICHAEL BOSTIC: SHE HAD
THE MONEY IN HER HAND.

430
00:21:00,660 --> 00:21:02,562
YOU COULD SEE THE
MONEY IN THE VIDEOTAPE.

431
00:21:02,595 --> 00:21:06,466

THE BACKPACK AND THERE BECAME

432
00:21:06,499 --> 00:21:08,935
A, A PHYSICAL ALTERCATION
OVER THE BACKPACK.

433

00:21:12,472 --> 00:21:15,308
SCENE, THE SUSPECT AH, RAISED

435
00:21:15,342 --> 00:21:18,511
IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD.

436
00:21:23,115 --> 00:21:25,985
WOMAN: LATASHA WAS A 'A'
STUDENT, HONOR ROLL STUDENT.

437
00:21:26,018 --> 00:21:28,588
SHE GOT MONEY EVERY WEEK FOR
HER ALLOWANCE SO SHE DID NOT

438
00:21:28,621 --> 00:21:30,923
HAVE TO STEAL ORANGE JUICE.

439
00:21:30,957 --> 00:21:32,359
REPORTER: THE STORE CLERK,

440
00:21:32,392 --> 00:21:34,361
A KOREAN WOMAN,
IS NOW IN JAIL.

441
00:21:34,394 --> 00:21:36,796
THE BLACK COMMUNITY IS
OUTRAGED OVER THE KILLING.

442
00:21:36,829 --> 00:21:40,199
THE NAACP IS DEMANDING THE
CLERK BE TRIED FOR MURDER.

443
00:21:40,232 --> 00:21:41,300
CROWD: WE WANT JUSTICE.

444
00:21:41,334 --> 00:21:42,435
STOP KILLING OUR CHILDREN.

445
00:21:42,469 --> 00:21:44,036
WE WANT JUSTICE!

446
00:21:44,070 --> 00:21:45,538
STOP KILLING OUR CHILDREN.

447
00:21:45,572 --> 00:21:47,674
REPORTER: THE CASE HAS BECOME
A SYMBOL OF TENSIONS BETWEEN

448
00:21:47,707 --> 00:21:50,276
TWO LARGE GROUPS IN THIS
ETHNICALLY DIVERSE CITY,

449
00:21:50,309 --> 00:21:52,445
AFRICAN AMERICANS
AND THE KOREANS,

450
00:21:52,479 --> 00:21:54,614
WHO'VE BECOME SUCCESSFUL
MERCHANTS IN MANY OF THE

451
00:21:54,647 --> 00:21:57,049
POOREST BLACK NEIGHBORHOODS.

452
00:21:57,083 --> 00:22:00,620
AS MANY AS 300,000 KOREANS
LIVE IN LOS ANGELES,

453
00:22:00,653 --> 00:22:03,690
MANY OF THEM IN AN AREA
KNOWN AS KOREATOWN.

454
00:22:03,723 --> 00:22:06,292
SOME BLACKS SEE THE KOREANS
AS A MERCHANT CLASS THAT TAKES

455
00:22:06,325 --> 00:22:08,327
ADVANTAGE OF THE
BLACK COMMUNITY.

456
00:22:08,361 --> 00:22:10,329
WOMAN: WHY DON'T YOU OPEN
A MARKET THAT WE CAN USE

457
00:22:10,363 --> 00:22:11,898
FOR OUR FAMILY?

458
00:22:11,931 --> 00:22:13,099
MAN: GO BACK TO KOREA.

459
00:22:13,132 --> 00:22:16,736
EDWARD CHANG: WE ARE DEEPLY
CONCERNED THAT THIS INCIDENT

460
00:22:16,769 --> 00:22:19,972
MAY BE DETRIMENTAL TO
THE POSITIVE EFFORTS BETWEEN

461
00:22:20,006 --> 00:22:21,808
THE TWO COMMUNITIES.

462
00:22:21,841 --> 00:22:24,043
IN ORDER TO
STRENGTHEN OUR BONDS,

463
00:22:24,076 --> 00:22:27,680
WE WILL ACTIVELY JOIN WITH
THE AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY

464
00:22:27,714 --> 00:22:31,618
TO DEVELOP MEASURES TO
PREVENT FURTHER TRAGEDY.

465
00:22:48,034 --> 00:22:50,169
JUDGE KARLIN: MISS SHEPHERD,
WOULD YOU PLEASE GIVE THE

466
00:22:50,202 --> 00:22:53,473
BAILIFF THE UM, VERDICT FORM?

467
00:22:54,373 --> 00:22:56,609
THANK YOU.

468
00:23:02,549 --> 00:23:05,217
WOULD THE COURT PLEASE
READ THE VERDICTS?

469
00:23:05,251 --> 00:23:06,919
BAILIFF: TITLE OF
COURT AND CAUSE.

470
00:23:06,953 --> 00:23:09,288
WE THE JURY, IN THE ABOVE
ENTITLED ACTION FIND THE

471
00:23:09,321 --> 00:23:13,726
DEFENDANT SOON JA DU GUILTY
OF VOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER IN

472
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:17,564
VIOLATION OF PENAL CODE
SECTION 192A, A FELONY.

473
00:23:18,230 --> 00:23:20,533
A LESSOR INCLUDED OFFENSE
TO THAT CHARGE IN [INAUDIBLE]

474
00:23:20,567 --> 00:23:22,902
OF THE INDICTMENT.

475
00:23:22,935 --> 00:23:25,371
WE FURTHER FIND THE ALLEGATION
THAT IN THE COMMISSION.

476
00:23:25,404 --> 00:23:30,376
JUDGE KARLIN: IT IS
NOW A TIME FOR HEALING.

477
00:23:30,409 --> 00:23:32,712
IT IS NOT A TIME FOR RHETORIC,

478
00:23:32,745 --> 00:23:36,549
WHICH SERVES NO PURPOSE
OTHER THAN TO FUEL THE FIRE.

479
00:23:36,583 --> 00:23:38,317
IT'S LIKE THROWING
GASOLINE ON A FIRE

480
00:23:38,350 --> 00:23:39,819
THAT'S ALREADY BURNING.

481
00:23:39,852 --> 00:23:42,589
IT IS MY OPINION THAT
MRS. DU IS NOT A DANGER TO

482
00:23:42,622 --> 00:23:46,493
THE COMMUNITY AND THAT
SHE IS NOT GOING TO REOFFEND.

483
00:23:46,526 --> 00:23:49,829
I KNOW A CRIMINAL
WHEN I SEE ONE.

484
00:23:49,862 --> 00:23:53,399
I KNOW A PERSON WHO PRESENTS
A DANGER TO THE COMMUNITY

485
00:23:53,432 --> 00:23:54,667
WHEN I SEE ONE.

486
00:23:54,701 --> 00:23:57,069
WHEN I DON'T, I TREAT
THAT PERSON AS SOMETHING

487
00:23:57,103 --> 00:23:59,672
OTHER THAN THAT.

488
00:24:11,684 --> 00:24:13,119
WOMAN: SHE GOT
AWAY WITH MURDER.

489
00:24:13,152 --> 00:24:15,121
MAN: GODDAMN, SURE HOPE SO
THAT THERE WILL BE ALL THE

490
00:24:15,154 --> 00:24:16,355
HELL IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY.

491
00:24:16,388 --> 00:24:17,524
WOMAN: I HOPE
SOMEBODY WOULD CARE.

492
00:24:17,557 --> 00:24:19,425
MAN: AND WOULD
STAND UP AND SEE THIS INSANITY

493
00:24:19,458 --> 00:24:20,927
FOR EXACTLY WHAT IT IS.

494
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:22,194
WOMAN: ABOUT THE DEATH OF A
CHILD, YOU CAN MURDER A CHILD.

495
00:24:22,228 --> 00:24:24,463
MAN: BLACK PEOPLE, ONCE AGAIN,
BEING UNJUSTLY TREATED BY THE.

496
00:24:24,497 --> 00:24:25,765

AND STAY ON THE STREET.

497
00:24:25,798 --> 00:24:27,266
MAN: GET THE CAMERAS OFF.

498
00:24:27,299 --> 00:24:28,467
GET THE CAMERA OUT OF MY FACE.

499
00:24:28,501 --> 00:24:29,936
WOMAN: SINCE WE DON'T
PICK COTTON ANYMORE,

500
00:24:29,969 --> 00:24:31,638
AND CUT SUGARCANE, WE ARE,
WE'RE, OUR LIVES IS NOT,

501
00:24:31,671 --> 00:24:33,039
NOT WORTH ANYTHING?

502
00:24:33,072 --> 00:24:34,541

A BLACK PERSON KILLED, UH,

506
00:24:39,679 --> 00:24:42,314
WITH A VIDEO WITH EYEWITNESSES
AND THIS IS WHAT YOU'LL GET.

507
00:24:42,348 --> 00:24:45,217
WOMAN 2: RICHARD,
RICHARD, STOP THAT.

00:24:45,251 --> 00:24:46,519

00:24:46,553 --> 00:24:47,954

MAXINE WATERS: UNFORTUNATELY,
A JUDGE WHO'S PROBABLY NEVER

515
00:25:01,668 --> 00:25:06,172
BEEN DOWN HERE, A JUDGE WHO
PROBABLY KNOWS VERY LITTLE

516
00:25:06,706 --> 00:25:09,175
ABOUT THIS COMMUNITY.

517
00:25:09,208 --> 00:25:15,014
A JUDGE DECIDED THAT THE
LIFE WAS NOT VALUABLE ENOUGH.

518
00:25:15,782 --> 00:25:18,751
MAN: LATASHA WAS KILLED,
OUR FAMILY WAS KILLED.

519
00:25:18,785 --> 00:25:22,054
RACISM IS NOT THE
KOREAN KILLING HER,

520
00:25:22,088 --> 00:25:25,825
RACISM IS THE COURT SYSTEM
THAT ALLOWS HER TO KILL HER.

DANNY BAKEWELL: WE
HAVE TO SHOW LOS ANGELES

522
00:25:28,527 --> 00:25:30,663
THAT WE ARE RESILIENT.

523
00:25:30,697 --> 00:25:34,433
AND WE ARE COMMITTED TO THE
SALVATION OF OUR PEOPLE.

524

BE CIVILLY DISOBEDIENT.

REPORTER: JUDGE BERNARD KAMINS
CAUGHT OBSERVERS BY SURPRISE

531
00:27:04,123 --> 00:27:06,525
WHEN HE REVERSED HIMSELF AND
ANNOUNCED THAT HE WOULD GRANT

532
00:27:06,558 --> 00:27:09,261
A CHANGE A VENUE IN THE TRIAL
OF THE FOUR POLICE OFFICERS

CHARGED IN CONNECTION
WITH THE BEATING OF

534
00:27:11,230 --> 00:27:12,932
MOTORIST RODNEY KING.

535
00:27:12,965 --> 00:27:14,867
JUDGE KAMINS: THE CHANGE
OF VENUE MOTION IS GREATLY

536
00:27:14,901 --> 00:27:18,304
ENTWINED WITH WHETHER
WE CAN GET JURORS,

537
00:27:18,337 --> 00:27:20,506
AND I'M VERY CONCERNED
WHETHER WE CAN GET JURORS

538
00:27:20,539 --> 00:27:22,474
WHO ARE UNTAINTED.

WERE NOT TRANSFERRED OUT

543
00:27:32,885 --> 00:27:35,788
BUT DEFENSE ATTORNEYS
SAY THIS CASE IS DIFFERENT.

544
00:27:35,822 --> 00:27:37,824
JOHN BARNETT: EVERYONE
HAS OPINION ON THE UH,

545
00:27:37,857 --> 00:27:39,325
GUILT OR INNOCENCE
OF THESE DEFENDANTS,

546
00:27:39,358 --> 00:27:41,293
AND THAT'S WHY IT WOULD
BE VERY DIFFICULT TO GET

547
00:27:41,327 --> 00:27:42,829
A FAIR TRIAL HERE.

THE VENUE WAS
CHANGED TO THE SIMI VALLEY,

OF LOS ANGELES WHERE MANY

552

YOU SAY TO HIM?

569
00:29:03,442 --> 00:29:05,277
LAURENCE POWELL: I YELLED AT
HIM TO LAY DOWN ON THE GROUND,

570
00:29:05,311 --> 00:29:07,780
GET DOWN ON THE GROUND,
A SERIES OF THOSE COMMANDS.

571
00:29:07,814 --> 00:29:08,815
ATTORNEY: A SERIES?

572
00:29:08,848 --> 00:29:09,882

ATTORNEY: AND, UH, TELL
THE JURY WHAT HAPPENED NEXT.

576
00:29:14,086 --> 00:29:16,288
LAURENCE POWELL: A, I
CONTINUED TO HIT HIM AND THEN

577
00:29:16,322 --> 00:29:18,757
KNOCKED HIM TO THE GROUND,
YELLED AT HIM TO STAY ON THE

578
00:29:18,791 --> 00:29:21,627
GROUND AND HE REPEATED
THE MOTION AGAIN,

579
00:29:21,660 --> 00:29:23,262
GETTING UP AGAIN.

580
00:29:23,295 --> 00:29:26,332
I WAS COMPLETELY IN
FEAR FOR MY LIFE,

581
00:29:26,365 --> 00:29:29,401
SCARED TO DEATH THAT IF THIS
GUY GOT BACK UP HE WAS GONNA

582
00:29:29,435 --> 00:29:32,438
TAKE MY GUN AWAY FROM ME, OR
THERE WAS GONNA BE A SHOOTING,

583
00:29:32,471 --> 00:29:34,907
AND I WAS DOING EVERYTHING
I COULD TO KEEP HIM DOWN

00:29:34,941 --> 00:29:38,044
ON THE GROUND.

ATTORNEY: AT ANY TIME DURING
THIS EVENING DID IT GO THROUGH

586
00:29:41,213 --> 00:29:43,649
YOUR MIND THAT THIS
WAS NOT A HUMAN BEING THAT

587
00:29:43,682 --> 00:29:47,453
YOU WERE BEATING?

LAURENCE POWELL: NO, SIR.

595
00:29:58,030 --> 00:29:59,765

THAT INVOLVED THESE AFRICAN

596
00:29:59,798 --> 00:30:00,967

00:30:02,468 --> 00:30:03,702

ANY GORILLAS AROUND?

ARE YOU WATCHING DURING

605
00:30:12,311 --> 00:30:13,445
ALL OF THIS?

606
00:30:13,479 --> 00:30:15,281
WHAT ARE YOU THINKING WHEN
YOU'RE FOCUSING ON THIS?

607
00:30:15,314 --> 00:30:16,949
STACEY KOON: I'M
THINKING THAT, UH,

608
00:30:16,983 --> 00:30:18,617
MR. KING HAS
BEEN SUBJECTED TO, UH,

609
00:30:18,650 --> 00:30:20,686
AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF,

610
00:30:20,719 --> 00:30:23,455
UH, UH, PAIN
AND HE'S, UH, NOT,

611
00:30:23,489 --> 00:30:26,392
IT'S ALMOST AS IF HIS BODY
IS ANESTHETIZED TO THE PAIN.

00:30:26,425 --> 00:30:28,294
ATTORNEY: WHAT WERE
YOU THINKING NOW?

613
00:30:28,327 --> 00:30:31,330

I HAVE SHORT OF DEADLY FORCE

AT THIS TIME.

616
00:30:35,434 --> 00:30:37,136
I'M THINKING AT THIS
TIME I'M EITHER GONNA HAVE

617
00:30:37,169 --> 00:30:40,306
TO USE A
CHOKEHOLD OR MY WEAPON.

618

ATTORNEY: AND WHY DIDN'T YOU
WANT TO USE A CHOKEHOLD, SIR?

619
00:30:43,509 --> 00:30:46,578
STACEY KOON: BECAUSE,
UM, IN LOS ANGELES THE

620
00:30:46,612 --> 00:30:51,150
CHOKEHOLD, UH, IS ASSOCIATED
WITH DEATH OF BLACKS.

ANYTHING THAT YOU ENJOYED?

00:31:00,059 --> 00:31:01,994
ATTORNEY: WHY WAS IT DONE?

626
00:31:02,028 --> 00:31:03,662
STACEY KOON: IT'S
DONE TO CONTROL, UH,

627
00:31:03,695 --> 00:31:06,498
AN AGGRESSIVE COMBATIVE
SUSPECT AND SOMETIMES POLICE

UM, WE HAVE 17 SEATS
ALLOCATED FOR THE, UM, PUBLIC.

00:31:24,250 --> 00:31:27,086
HOWEVER, THE OTHER SEATS
THAT WE HAVE RESERVED,

635
00:31:27,119 --> 00:31:28,854
IF PEOPLE DON'T SHOW UP
FOR THOSE SEATS THEN WE

636

APPROPRIATELY FOR COURT,

640

OF COURSE.

641
00:31:36,728 --> 00:31:39,365
UM, NOTHING THAT SAYS
ANYTHING ABOUT THE TRIAL ITSELF

642
00:31:39,398 --> 00:31:42,935
OR ANY TYPE OF RACIAL SLURS,
UM, ANYTHING THAT MIGHT BE

643

645
00:31:48,074 --> 00:31:50,209
DO YOU HAVE ANOTHER
SHIRT IN THE CAR?

00:32:07,526 --> 00:32:09,962
HAVE YOU SEEN MR. KING
SWING AT ANYONE?

SEEN HIM PUNCH AT ANYONE?

652

THEN AT ANY POINT AFTER

654
00:32:16,102 --> 00:32:19,605
03:42:20, ANY BATON BLOW
RECEIVED BY MR. KING IS

655
00:32:19,638 --> 00:32:21,140
UNREASONABLE AND UNNECESSARY?

656
00:32:21,173 --> 00:32:24,276
MICHAEL BOSTIC:
YES SIR, IT IS.

657
00:32:29,281 --> 00:32:31,350
DARRYL MOUNGER: HAD
SERGEANT KOON NOT BEEN THERE

658
00:32:31,383 --> 00:32:34,586
TO CONTROL THAT SITUATION,
AS UGLY AS IT LOOKS,

659
00:32:34,620 --> 00:32:37,489
RODNEY KING WOULDN'T
HAVE BEEN HOME NOW.

660
00:32:37,523 --> 00:32:40,259
AND MAYBE SERGEANT KOON
WOULD HAVE HAD TO GO TELL

661
00:32:40,292 --> 00:32:44,696
SOME OFFICER'S FAMILY WHY
THEY DIDN'T COME HOME.

662
00:32:45,631 --> 00:32:47,766
TERRY WHITE: YOU'VE
GOT THIS MAN DOWN.

663
00:32:47,799 --> 00:32:49,035
HE'S NOT DOING ANYTHING.

664
00:32:49,068 --> 00:32:50,602
HE'S NOT TRYING TO ESCAPE.

665
00:32:50,636 --> 00:32:52,504
HE'S NOT TRYING TO RESIST.

666
00:32:52,538 --> 00:32:54,773
WHEN YOU REACH THAT POINT
ON THAT TAPE WHERE YOU SAY,

667
00:32:54,806 --> 00:32:58,510
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, THAT'S WHEN
UNREASONABLE FORCE STARTS.

668
00:33:00,512 --> 00:33:02,681
JOHN BARNETT: OUR WHOLE SYSTEM

THERE ARE PEOPLE BEING
BEATEN, THERE IS LOOTING.

1354
01:07:25,309 --> 01:07:28,212
IT IS A DANGEROUS NIGHT
IN THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES.

1357

PETE WILSON: I'M
ADVISED THAT, UH,

1358
01:07:50,234 --> 01:07:52,436
THERE IS SOMEONE FROM THE
SECRETARY OF STATE'S OFFICE ON

1359
01:07:52,469 --> 01:07:55,772
THE WAY OVER TO
ACCEPT THIS PROCLAMATION

1360
01:07:55,805 --> 01:07:58,074
OF A STATE EMERGENCY,

1361
01:07:58,575 --> 01:08:00,910
OF A STATE OF EMERGENCY
FOR LOS ANGELES CITY

1362
01:08:00,944 --> 01:08:04,748
AND LOS ANGELES COUNTY.

1363
01:08:05,415 --> 01:08:09,553
THIS IS, UH, IN RESPONSE TO
A REQUEST BY MAYOR BRADLEY.

1364
01:08:09,586 --> 01:08:12,722
AS A RESULT OF THE
DISCUSSIONS THAT WE HAVE HAD,

1365
01:08:12,756 --> 01:08:17,994
THERE WILL BE AS MANY AS 750
CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROLMEN.

1366
01:08:18,027 --> 01:08:20,063
ADDITIONALLY, WE HAVE
MADE AVAILABLE SOME

1367
01:08:20,096 --> 01:08:23,233
2,000 NATIONAL GUARDSMEN.

1368
01:08:23,267 --> 01:08:26,703
THEY ARE ON STANDBY,
PREPARED TO, UH, MOVE.

1369
01:08:27,337 --> 01:08:30,073
TRANSPORT HAS BEEN ARRANGED.

1370
01:08:30,106 --> 01:08:33,610
AND IT IS OUR PURPOSE HERE AT
THE STATE GOVERNMENT LEVEL TO

1371
01:08:33,643 --> 01:08:37,914
RESTORE LAW AND ORDER, AND
TO MINIMIZE THE DANGER TO THE

1372
01:08:37,947 --> 01:08:39,983
RESIDENTS OF THE AREA.

1373
01:08:40,016 --> 01:08:43,953
THIS IS A MATTER THAT NEEDS TO
BE SETTLED IN THE COURTS AND

1374
01:08:43,987 --> 01:08:45,522
NOT IN THE STREETS.

1375
01:08:45,555 --> 01:08:47,557
THANK YOU.

1376
01:09:04,741 --> 01:09:05,842
CROWD: WHAT DO YOU WANT?

1377
01:09:05,875 --> 01:09:07,043
JUSTICE.

1378
01:09:07,076 --> 01:09:08,044
WHEN DO YOU WANT IT?

1379
01:09:08,077 --> 01:09:09,112
NOW.

1380
01:09:09,145 --> 01:09:10,113
WHAT DO YOU WANT?

1381
01:09:10,146 --> 01:09:11,181
JUSTICE?

1382
01:09:11,215 --> 01:09:12,382
WHEN DO YOU WANT IT?

1383
01:09:12,416 --> 01:09:13,283
NOW.

1384
01:09:13,317 --> 01:09:14,451
WHAT DO YOU WANT?

1385
01:09:14,484 --> 01:09:15,319
JUSTICE?

1386
01:09:15,352 --> 01:09:16,520
WHEN DO YOU WANT IT?

1387
01:09:16,553 --> 01:09:17,821
NOW.

1388
01:09:17,854 --> 01:09:19,289
JIM: WHITE HOUSE OFFICIALS
ARE SCRAMBLING AT THIS VERY

1389
01:09:19,323 --> 01:09:20,957
MOMENT, UH, TO PRODUCE A
STATEMENT FROM PRESIDENT BUSH.

1390
01:09:20,990 --> 01:09:23,860
NOBODY EXPECTED THAT VERDICT
THE WAY IT CAME DOWN.

1391
01:09:23,893 --> 01:09:26,296
THERE'S NOTHING REALLY THAT
THE WHITE HOUSE CAN DO ABOUT

1392
01:09:26,330 --> 01:09:27,964
THAT VERDICT BUT
IT DOES PRESENT A HUGE

1393
01:09:27,997 --> 01:09:29,098
POLITICAL PROBLEM.

1394
01:09:29,132 --> 01:09:31,635
MANY CIVIL RIGHTS LEADERS
THOUGHT THAT PRESIDENT BUSH

1395
01:09:31,668 --> 01:09:35,038
HAS BEEN WEAK ON CIVIL
RIGHTS, CIVIL RIGHTS PROMISES.

1396
01:09:35,071 --> 01:09:37,474
REPORTER: HAVE YOU HAD ANY
DISCUSSIONS WITH PRESIDENT BUSH,

1397
01:09:37,507 --> 01:09:39,476
EITHER ON THE TELEPHONE,
OR HAS THERE BEEN ANY FORM?

1398
01:09:39,509 --> 01:09:41,678
MAXINE WATERS: PRESIDENT
BUSH DOES NOT TALK TO US.

1399
01:09:41,711 --> 01:09:45,382
UH, LET'S, LET'S, LET'S, LET'S,
LET'S BE STRAIGHT ABOUT THIS.

1400
01:09:45,415 --> 01:09:47,551
AH, WE HAVE NO ACCESS
TO THE WHITE HOUSE.

1401
01:09:47,584 --> 01:09:50,153
WE HAD ONE MEETING SINCE
I HAVE BEEN IN CONGRESS,

1402
01:09:50,186 --> 01:09:51,588
WITH THE PRESIDENT.

1403
01:09:51,621 --> 01:09:53,990
IT WAS PRO FORMA,
IT WAS COURTESY,

1404
01:09:54,023 --> 01:09:56,793
BUT THERE IS NO RELATIONSHIP.

1405
01:09:57,961 --> 01:09:58,995
MAN: IS THAT WHO WE THOUGHT?

1406
01:09:59,028 --> 01:10:01,598
MAN 2: I THINK SO, YEAH.

1407
01:10:02,466 --> 01:10:04,268
JIM: ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALS
SAY THAT THE JUSTICE

1408
01:10:04,301 --> 01:10:06,770
DEPARTMENT HAD IN FACT
LAUNCHED A CIVIL RIGHTS

1409
01:10:06,803 --> 01:10:09,606
INVESTIGATION INTO THE RODNEY
KING BEATING BUT ONCE STATE

1410
01:10:09,639 --> 01:10:12,509
CHARGES WERE BROUGHT THEY
SORT OF PUT THAT ON HOLD.

1411
01:10:12,542 --> 01:10:14,511
NOW IT'S UNCLEAR AT THIS
MOMENT EXACTLY WHERE

1412
01:10:14,544 --> 01:10:16,179
THAT INVESTIGATION STANDS.

1413
01:10:16,212 --> 01:10:17,447
FAITH?

1414
01:10:17,481 --> 01:10:19,383
FAITH: IT WOULD ALMOST
SEEM AT THIS POINT, JIM,

1415
01:10:19,416 --> 01:10:20,717
THAT THEY'D HAVE TO
PICK IT UP AGAIN.

1416
01:10:20,750 --> 01:10:22,452
YOU CANNOT IGNORE THAT
ALL OF THIS IS COMING

1417
01:10:22,486 --> 01:10:24,187
IN A PRESIDENTIAL
ELECTION YEAR.

1418
01:10:24,220 --> 01:10:25,889
GOV. CLINTON: YOU KNOW
THAT I DON'T THINK

1419
01:10:25,922 --> 01:10:27,391
HE'S DONE ENOUGH BUT I,

1420
01:10:27,424 --> 01:10:29,359
BUT I THINK WE HAVE
HAD TOO MUCH DIVISION AND

1421
01:10:29,393 --> 01:10:30,860
TOO LITTLE HARMONY.

1422
01:10:30,894 --> 01:10:33,196
I THINK THERE'S BEEN TOO
LITTLE EFFORT TO BRING PEOPLE

1423
01:10:33,229 --> 01:10:34,431
TOGETHER ACROSS RACIAL LINES.

1424
01:10:34,464 --> 01:10:36,900
THIS IS A HUMAN PROBLEM.

1425
01:10:36,933 --> 01:10:39,135
PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY
DON'T TRUST EACH OTHER AND

1426
01:10:39,168 --> 01:10:41,070
DON'T TRUST THE SYSTEM.

1427
01:10:41,104 --> 01:10:43,773
AND THE POLITICAL SYSTEM HAS
TOO OFTEN DIVIDED PEOPLE BY

1428
01:10:43,807 --> 01:10:48,378
RACE AND THAT IS THE URGENT
TASK FOR AMERICA TODAY.

1429
01:10:48,412 --> 01:10:51,481
OUR DIVERSITY WILL
EITHER BE OUR UNDOING,

1430
01:10:51,515 --> 01:10:54,183
OR THE SOURCE OF OUR
GREATEST STRENGTH.

1431
01:10:54,751 --> 01:10:56,920
MAXINE WATERS: I AM ANGRY, AND
I HAVE A RIGHT TO THAT ANGER,

1432
01:10:56,953 --> 01:10:59,389
AND THE PEOPLE OUT THERE
HAVE A RIGHT TO THAT ANGER.

1433
01:10:59,423 --> 01:11:01,325
WE DON'T WANT ANYBODY KILLED.

1434
01:11:01,358 --> 01:11:03,393
NONE OF US BELIEVE
IN VIOLENCE.

1435
01:11:03,427 --> 01:11:05,562
BUT THERE ARE SOME
ANGRY PEOPLE IN AMERICA,

1436
01:11:05,595 --> 01:11:08,898
AND YOUNG BLACK
MALES, IN MY DISTRICT,

1437
01:11:08,932 --> 01:11:11,735
ARE FEELING AT THIS MOMENT,
IF THEY COULD NOT GET A

1438
01:11:11,768 --> 01:11:15,572
CONVICTION, WITH THE RODNEY
KING VIDEO AVAILABLE TO THE

1439
01:11:15,605 --> 01:11:19,776
JURORS, THAT THERE CAN
BE NO JUSTICE IN AMERICA.

1440
01:11:19,809 --> 01:11:21,445
[APPLAUSE].

I GUESS JUST SOME PEOPLE
SAY, JUST PUNCH ON ME.

1450

PUNCH ON THE RADIO STATION.

1451
01:11:53,309 --> 01:11:54,511
TALK TO US OVER THE LINES.

LET, LET'S GO BACK TO THE
PHONE LINES AND LET'S SEE HOW

HAVE NO NEIGHBORHOOD NO MORE.

01:12:06,523 --> 01:12:08,024
VENT OUR FRUSTRATION.

TO KJLH ALL MY LIFE AND

1461

I ONLY HAVE THREE WORDS
FOR, UH, WHAT'S HAPPENING,

1462

GONNA SAY THOSE BAD WORDS, HUH?

IT'S TERRIBLE,
ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE.

1478
01:12:46,930 --> 01:12:49,098
BUT WHAT CAN YOU SAY?

1479
01:12:49,132 --> 01:12:53,102
THEY SAID IT ALL YESTERDAY

OUTCOME OF THIS.

DURING THE RIOTS.

1486
01:13:21,665 --> 01:13:24,434

REASON MAY BE THE CONFLICT
