vigorm0rtis 05/30/20 10:24:25 PM #27:	ChainedRedone posted... Do you have any sources? I can't seem to find anything. Yeah, it's hard. CNN had just gained a lot of traction in 1991 so it was cutthroat between cable and network news to get the best footage. I suspect the best sources will be local papers, if they're archived back that far. In Detroit a lot of the coverage that still exists is kind of mixed up with the Malice Green riots. I lived near Detroit at the time, there were riots but not anything even as bad as Lansing had a few years later over basketball. Atlanta and Baltimore had riots as well, as I recall. https://www.ajc.com/news/from-1992-atlanta-rodney-king-riots/cqNImOgyvgWN6NnhOmpn7M/ That's all I can find without spendng 15 minutes typing in every major city in the US and Rodney King's name and going through archives.
