My favorite collaboration team! I remember the Rodney King incident. I had family, that had just moved to Los Angeles, the week before the rioting. I remember Reginald Denney and seeing him pulled out of his truck on CNN. It was vicious! I think after 30 years, there hasn't been enough done to make a change, unfortunately. Incidentally, I had that same Sony Handycam. No matter the content, I always enjoy seeing you and Lamont collaborate on a story. Looking forward to more collaborations with the two of you. Thank you Chris.
Great video and leg work on the people involved
Everybody remembers what happened to Rodney King. Nobody remembers what happened to Reginald Denny.
Yep, but that happened as a result of what happened to Rodney King FIRST…
@@robertmartin1269 That's doesn't make it any better.
We all know why..
@@HankPanky 🙏👍
It's showing 😂😂😂
Thank you two for covering this historical moment! It’s a real pleasure to see both of you working together again! I can see you both doing a podcast together too! Thanks so much!
UA-cam is getting pathetic with the censoring. You can't show the word “covid 19” now?
Great to see Lamont with you! Thanks for the vid n have a great day.
Thank you for sharing Chris.
Thank you , Chris ❤
“ Mostly Peaceful Protest “
@@amberlopez7477I'm your step dad
Five stars is what I give these videos with Lamont ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thanks guys
The best documentry I have seen about the LA riots is from the History channel,
it's called "City on Fire"
It has some things in it you have probably not seen before and it is graphic.
Definetley worth the watch.😎
The best You Tubers around,thanks guys keep up the great work ❤
I like y’all’s colabs!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you for pointing out, while these men did use excessive force causing great bodily injury, King was not an angelic innocent person. He refused to comply with lawful orders continually. He was a big man and I can see his actions causing fear with the officers. Personally I believe the officers went too far and should have received some form of punishment. But let’s understand too that King was drunk speeding which put everyone on the road at risk. An all around terrible event! Not to mention what occurred in La afterwards
Next Chris will do a video about how George Floyd was innocent lmao this channel sucks now
There's a reason why you always hear about the rodney king and George floyd incidents but you never see a biography of them as people because they were both terrible people
@@adamclark9004 I bet Chris flys BLM flags I should've expected it he sounds like an effeminate liberal really
@@Bobby-rq5pe I think he's doing the opposite, gingerly tip toeing around the PC medium and saying, hey, here is who King was and what he was doing, here is who halliday was and what he was doing, if he had minded his own business 50 people would've lived.
@@LoneStarMillennial as long as he lies about the guy like he was some innocent person it's a useless video. Like the George Floyd case he was garbage too
Love your channels! And, this may be one of my favorites of yours! Thanks!
Thanks for the footage. This is the infamously reason why I'm so intrigued with the history of LA. thanks for the footage guys
One of your best videos!! I didn't know a lot of the information you and Lamont was talking about. Like the guy that video taped the whole and the 4 people that saved the truckers life. Great job!!
Our world needs to be better. If you have done me wrong, I will dislike you but never would I beat or try to kill unless someone harmed my family. My son and step son are mixed and I love them with all of me. Kids learn hate from their parents. The world needs a lot more love in it.
Thanks mobile, safe travels
I was miles away from where the riots were but could see and smell the smoke from the playground of the elementary school that I was going to. Very scary time for a 7 year old like myself wondering what the heck is going on and not understanding.
Thank goodness we live in this world where nothing like that will ever happen again.
Seeing the riots on tv and seeing people getting pulled out of cars scared me so much, I never wanted to set foot in LA after seeing that
Hey hey gogo to the nono 😊❤😊
@@wendysmith8246 hey Wendy
@@wendysmith8246hi Wendy, I love these collabs,
What happened was extremely unfortunate, but you could argue that an 8-mile chase is resisting/passive resisting. Now that doesn't mean beat the guy to a pulp. Just bad policing.
And bad citizenship too. He could have easily avoided what happened to him. Both parties are wrong here
@@kyleranderson5557 absolutely. If he didn’t drink and drive this would never had happened.
I had a friend who was seven days from getting out of the Navy after 16 years. He worked as a recruiter at the LA recruiting office and left for home as the riots started. He turned on the TV just in time for Reginald Denny get trashed. A few minutes later, his CO called him and told him to report to the closest naval base in the morning.
The recruiting office had been burned to the ground.
Lovely video! Love the collabs with Lamont! I dont think things have changed much
Thank u both for sharing this video
Props to the law enforcement
Why are we censoring COVID-19 ?
The real Question is: Why aren’t we Censoring? I mean, people still drop F-Bombs all over the place. This could be a good excuse to start calling out Hypocrisy on the platform!
As a Community, are we better, or worse? Society hasn't learned a damn thing! "Can't We All get along?"
Thank for the refreshing my memory. Not alot has changed; it is unfortunate that we live in a society of where some people are Above The Law!
I remember the day this happened. This did change the country somewhat.
Interesting
The richest person is not the one who has the most, but instead, the one who needs the least.
You two need to do spahn ranch next
That was a sad time.
I don't think much has changed if anything at all, and sadly it probably never will. RIP to Rodney King and George Holliday. Thanks Chris!
Society of all ages has gotten worse , hatred and negativity towards one another , regardless of race or beliefs, disgusting example of humans 😡
I watched all on live t.v. ! It was bad , i couldnt understand the thugs dragging a truck driver out of his truck and try to kill him, it was bad ,disgusting and sickening and what they did to their own hometown😢
They weren’t thug shut up about that shit it was a riot they going after the people who was white they alway told them go for the whites not Mexican it was wrong what they did too him but it was a riot all the year whites will go for black like rosewood massacre.
Everything is worse now, IMO. I do miss the world before the internet though, the world felt smaller.
The internet has really been a ruination of the world.
Certain people need accountability when they do wrong
I dont get it, youtube will allow you to show pictures of a community burning down but wont show the photos of people that beat king or, in other videos, photos of caskets? what the heck is goin on youtube?
basically a "double standard" on UA-cam's part, obviously
Amazing vid, and its surprising how long ago that happened. The riots that followed the police attack shocked the world, no one saw something like that since the Watts riots and the Detroit riots 25+ years before. It also proved that police were overwhelmed, they could not deal with the looting, the shootings, the attacks on fire fighters who were trying to put out the fires. The shoot outs with the Korean store owners and the gangs...etc.
This comment section is something. Wouldn’t expect anything less in 2024, tho.
Hello! You asked at the end is our world better now? God made this qorld beautiful and perfect, then satan fell to earth, and it has been a mess ever since. The increased use of illegal drugs has greatly intensified bizarre, violent behavior. Add to that the horrible effects of alcohol abuse. Mr. King made the choice to drink too much, and drive way too fast caring little for the people he endangered. Praise God he didn't hit someone.
He resisted arrest, and in his crazed condition, they certainly couldn't let him go, but I don't think they were trying to kill him. I have heard that the alcohol in his system and his heightened state of violence gave him a heart attack. I watched a video recently, and the coroner said their was no boot imprint on his neck.
I'm so sorry he wasted his life with drugs.
It doesn't matter how fast he was going or how big he was or if he was on PCP which he wasn't these are just the excuses they used to justify excessive force he wasn't trying to get up he was moving because he was getting beating with clubs and being stomped on he was in unbelievable pain just like those maniacs who beat up that poor truck driver and hit him with a cinder block they were wrong also people forget the King incident happened a good year before the riots and if it wasn't for George Holliday taping it nobody would have never known about it just another black man getting violated by the police but it showed a lot of people in America and all over the world how the police will use excessive force and just claim they were " Resisting arrest " which once he was on the ground he clearly wasn't the tape showed that but of course they were acquitted anyway.
Where I live not much has changed. When George Floyd died we had months of riots still and the city still hasn’t recovered.
After watching so many different beatings and learning about police corruption. This story doesn't even seem as bad as I remembers first hearing about it. That is how bad cops have fallen since then.
Sargent Koon was a bad cop. Many folks who lived in Foothill Division learned this the hard way.
What human beings are capable of...
I remember how sick it was that reginald denny was paid off by the media to say he forgave all involved
Proof?
im kinda surprised you dont have more subs. seems like a 2 mil type channel
He "parked" his car because he was finally stopped because of a road block after a 7 mile chase!
Yes, it was a mean looking video. Rodney King did all he could to make this happen.
I'm not saying he deserved all 56 wacks to the body like that, but he did all he could to make this happen.
After what he did to the people of California Rodney King should have been ashamed of himself.
If I tried anything like what he did that night the police would probably have killed me and called it justifiable.
All I'm trying to say to you people is put your pity and compassion where it is deserved to be.
RIP Mr King
Things are WORSE...they're more organized now
Thank you Chris and Lamont another eye opener The reason why we're talking about it is because we should never forget that's brutal incident change change the world I wish more people understood I knew where I was at on that day and it was horrible rest in peace Mr King you and your story is not forgotten God bless you
L.A what a hell hole!
The moral of the story is he was drunk and driving super fast endangering many people and avoiding arrest so the police had to exercise more force and is was caught on a camera because the camera man was probably not a fan of authority so he filmed it and then everyone got stupid and the place went crazy! So he should have just not drove drunk and endanger people by speeding and all never would have happened!
Reginald Denny should have been the one who got money from LA Not Rodney King.
FJB and FRK!
30 years later and we’re still talking about the same thing..
systematic racism
disappointing how little has changed
Jews playing with their toys, a tale as old as time
@@tehjamerzkeep that antisemitic BS for yourself!
Yeah same thing, blax thinking they are above the law and refusing to cooperate with police
Only people who are brainwashed still think that
Can't you stop 🛑 your racism garbage and read my quotation. It's recently made.
It was excessive force all around: from the cops and from the rioters.
Well, twice as many people on earth. What do u think??? 😒😒
Riots should have been about why why King was out on the streets to begin with. Fun facts that are often left out: he was DUI and the CHP noticed King's car speeding on the freeway. They pursued King with lights and sirens, and the pursuit reached 117 mph, while King refused to pull over. King would later say he fled the police hoping to avoid a DUI charge and the parole violation that could follow. The pursuit continued through residential streets at speeds ranging from 55 to 80mph, and through at least one red light. Several police cars and a police helicopter had joined in the pursuit. After approximately 8 miles, officers cornered King in his car. During the three-hour sentencing hearing, US District Judge John G. Davies accepted much of the defense version of the beating. He strongly criticized King, who, he said, provoked the officers' initial actions. Davies said that only the final six or so baton blows by Powell were unlawful. The first 55 seconds of the videotaped portion of the incident, during which the vast majority of the blows were delivered, was within the law because the officers were attempting to subdue a suspect who was resisting efforts to take him into custody. Davies found that King's provocative behavior began with his "remarkable consumption of alcoholic beverage" and continued through a high-speed chase, refusal to submit to police orders and an aggressive charge toward Powell. Davies made several findings in support of the officers' version of events. He concluded that Officer Powell never intentionally struck King in the head, and "Powell's baton blow that broke King's leg was not illegal because King was still resisting and rolling around on the ground, and breaking bones in resistant suspects is permissible under police policy." Mitigation cited by the judge in determining the length of the prison sentence included the suffering the officers had undergone because of the extensive publicity their case had received, high legal bills that were still unpaid, the impending loss of their careers as police officers, their higher risks of abuse while in prison, and their undergoing two trials. The judge acknowledged that the two trials did not legally constitute double jeopardy, but raised "the specter of unfairness".
Worse society.
Now this is aye prime example I don't visit LA no more place is crazy with nut cases lol
Just 11 yrs old when all this went dwn. Ice Cube ,The Predator..help me understand.

When I first saw the thumbnail, I was a little afraid because of how terribly painful the whole Rodney King beating was -it exposed the lines in society about racial issues, the violence at the hands of police, people were judging Mr. King-as if doling out physical violence was acceptable, cops playing judge, jury and executioners - it is a miracle that he wasn't shot. Two wrongs do not make a right. Mr. King - even though he broke laws - was still entitled to rights as a citizen to be arrested, booked, etc.. Without being beaten severely on the street. This situation was the perfect storm of idiocy. My God.
Nothing has changed...
In all honesty some shit has changed but still racism is at-large I personally love everyone to like they are all brothers to me I will never ever ever wish this upon anybody😢
And this world is going to hell in a handbasket because of social media because of a lot of other things I’m sure a lot of people will agree all of these things are no good media is turning everyone against everyone
I agree. The different narratives being pushed and the silencing is rampant
Racism against whites.
They are taught at a young age to hate the police and whites. Sad...
Worse!!
we are always one bad verdict away from all hell breaking loose. whatever the race.
"Shock the World" but no one knows about it outside the USA.
Now current hiring policies and such have us going backwards into segregation as liberals again love that DEI crap.
we are now at the point of no return in the last days of the age of grace. the apostle summed it up in his epistle that it will wax worse and worse as it comes to a conclusion. now for the gospel that saves, 1 for 15:1-4 God bless. remember its faith alone in Christ alone and he did it all
1:54 think the guy try stop the beating was a Hispanic guy…
Wait, you have to censor out the rona? Lol
Yep. The Encaav is gone, so it shan’t be talked about anymore!
Gotta wonder if that Holiday guy ever felt bad about being the cause of 50 people dying and Billions of dollars in damages just because he wanted to play newsman and become famous for filming it??
He didn't cause that.
@@HankPankyHe sure did.
Mike is mixing a 9 with his 444, it just shows his impurity is systemic.
What more could Rodney want?…. They pulled him over and treated him like a king!!😂
The only hatred is self-hatred. - j q t -
I try not to use the word hate, but I hate rioters. There is 0 excuse to destroy another humans property because you are upset.
Do people call their local senators anymore? I’m 23 and it seems most people my age just turn to hate before actually trying to make a difference. This spoke magnitudes after the death of George Floyd.
RIP to all lives that have been lost by the hands of evil people. And God bless those who spend their lives trying to make a difference.
As always, thank you Chris, and Lamont. Your channels do us all a great justice.
Ive never understood why people destroy their own neighborhoods. Their own stores and schools.
I wonder how many of the 36 that died were African Americans 🤷🏻♀️
@@MobileInstinctthey were fed up of being the bottom class of society
@@MobileInstinctThe same reason protestors throw oil on mink coats and not on biker leathers.
Solid logic if your an orangutan. @@a1gray1
My mom, little brother and I were at a Dodger game when the riots broke out. We were all oblivious to what was going on. There was an announcement that the 101 was closed and to use a different freeway to get home. Then we started smelling smoke. Once the game was over and we were heading down the hill, the whole of downtown was on fire. It was crazy. Once we got on the freeway, the smoke was so bad we could barely see. On tge radio they were talking about what had happened to Reginald and what was currently going on. I was so scared that we were going to get stopped and pulled out of our car and beat up. I will never forget that.

Excellent video and another great duo on a video. No much has changed in all those years.
"As Rodney King knows, if the police have to come and get you, they're bringin' an ass kickin' with 'em." - Chris Rock
what happened to the thugs that pulled reginald denny out of his truch, stomped his head and threw bricks at his head?
Ask the LAPD, if they’ll listen.
No excuse for what the cops did but the rioters acted like animals with that trucker.
Excellent,thank you!😭💯💥👍!
Thank you to both of you for covering another story.
U picked a heck of a time to come out with this one
Chris and Lamont very well put together video! It's up to us as people to make this world a better place! But sometimes it is hard to do that when you have some people in higher places making it difficult to have better changes 🤔
Denny lives in Arizona now and works as a boat mechanic.
The “LA 4” the ones accused in his attack had quite an interesting history post-riots.
In 1997, Damian Williams was released from prison early for good behavior, but in 2003, he was sentenced to 46 years to life in prison for the 2000 murder of drug dealer Grover Tinner. As of 2017, he is incarcerated at Centinela State Prison.
Henry Watson was re-arrested and sentenced to three years for a narcotics conviction and, after his release, owned and operated a limousine service in Los Angeles.
On February 1, 2004, Antoine Miller was shot outside of a Hollywood nightclub during an altercation and died in Cedars-Sinai Medical Center on February 8 at the age of 31.
Gary Williams, Henry Watson, and Damian Williams gave interviews about the riots for the 2017 documentary Let It Fall: Los Angeles 1982-1992.
I can tell you I got beaten with a flashlight by Downey PD and my cousin was hospitalized after being thumped with billy clubs by LACSD in the 80s but there was no camera's witnessing what happened to our white asses LoL.
Me and my cousin may not have deserved what happened to us and Rodney King certainly didn't....However
All three of us resisted arrest and in the 80s cops didn't play and I learned a valuable lesson and never resisted again .
I do not agree with what happened to RD and others attacked during the riots or the looting.
I used to drive home from work right by the burned out theaters and stores in the 80s that were from the 60s watts riot and always thought how terrible that kids didn't have a theater in their neighborhood because what people did 20 years before they were born.
I understand frustration but in no way did either riot benefit the people that lived there especially the kids
Yeah, people were outraged when they saw that video. The economic recession had bitten really hard, and tension, and tempers were really high in LA back then. It was scary. When the verdict came out on TV, and the cops got off, that was it! All hell broke loose, and everything went crazy, and that craziness spread like wildfire across the city.
I LOVE when you two collaborate! Great episode. I think race relations today are even worse than they were back then. We've gone backwards.
I like the channel but you should research stuff you do videos on beforehand and look at stuff before you talk about it. I really love the Queen Mary videos.
So, all that other crap was to sensitive for youtube but not the bloody truck driver?! This world is insane!!
I’m Holiday. I’m Tarraday. I’m ground hog day…he he he.
Thank you Chris and Lamont for discussing this
why are you blurring out the word "COVID" at 9:53?
63 people died during the riots and over 2 thousand were injured
Good to see you two
I follow Lamont and watch all his stuff
