Picture taken from a CBS Television broadcast 15 March 1991, showing the 03 March 1991 incindent in Los Angeles in which Rodney King (on ground) was beated by police officers. The arrow reportedly shows police Sergent Stacey Koon, who was indicted 15 March 1991 along with three of the officers. The original videotape was shot by George Holliday, an amateur, who gave it to KTLA, a Los Angeles television station. The 1992 Los Angeles riots, with looting and arson events, erupted 29 April 1992 when a mostly white jury acquitted the four police officers accused in the videotaped beating of black motorist Rodney King, after he fled from police. 52 people were killed during the riots and Rodney King became a reluctant symbol of police brutality.,Image: 68424772, License: Rights-managed, Restrictions: FILES = RESTRICTED TO EDITORIAL USE - MANDATORY CREDIT " AFP PHOTO / CBS " - NO MARKETING NO ADVERTISING CAMPAIGNS - DISTRIBUTED AS A SERVICE TO CLIENTS =, ***
