West Las Vegas riots
The West Las Vegas riots were sparked on April 29, 1992, after the Rodney King verdict, where all four white Los Angeles Police Department officers were acquitted for the beating of Rodney King in Los Angeles, California. After the Los Angeles riots were sparked, Black residents of West Las Vegas had already started to loot and burned several stores. Gun battles had started with snipers on intersections and one white motorist was pulled from his vehicle and beaten.〔http://www.nytimes.com/1992/05/19/us/after-the-riots-mob-violence-continues-in-las-vegas.html〕
The violence was just 7 miles away from the Las Vegas Strip. Las Vegas police officers placed buses under Interstate 15 to keep rioters from crossing out of West Las Vegas and into the downtown area. After the riots, $6 million in property was damaged and the tensions with the police lasted the next 18 days.〔http://www.nytimes.com/1992/05/19/us/after-the-riots-mob-violence-continues-in-las-vegas.html〕
