Um, I don't know, how about police brutality? It doesn't matter in the slightest what started the incident, what matters is that the police beat him senselessly, even when he wasn't moving at all.
It wasn't rioting over just Rodney King, that was just the straw that broke the camel's back.

To answer that, you have to answer whether it would've happened to that extent if he was white. And no, it wouldn't have.
When a cop tells you to do something, you do it.

rights are granted by the government in exchange for paying taxes and following the law. Breach these terms and you begin to lose the protection of granted rights. Unspook yourself already, Class.

No different to how animal rights are inherent in pain-capable unintelligent life. Neither can be stripped, no matter what the human or animal does.
