On this day in *1991**, **Rodney King**, an **African American motorist**, was **brutally beaten* by officers of the *Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD)* following a *high-speed car chase**, an incident that was caught on **videotape* and became one of the most infamous cases of **police brutality in American history**. King, who had been driving under the influence, led *California Highway Patrol officers* on a chase through *Los Angeles* before finally stopping in the San Fernando Valley. What followed was a shocking **display of excessive force**: **four LAPD officers—Stacey Koon, Laurence Powell, Timothy Wind, and Theodore Briseno—repeatedly kicked, stomped, and struck King with metal batons**, even as he lay on the ground attempting to shield himself. The beating, which lasted over a minute, was secretly filmed by **George Holliday**, a bystander who lived nearby. The *video footage**, aired on national television, sparked immediate **public outrage**, bringing **police brutality, racial discrimination, and systemic injustice* into the national conversation. The officers involved were **indicted and put on trial**, but in **April 1992**, a predominantly white jury in **Simi Valley, California**, **acquitted three of the officers and failed to reach a verdict on the fourth**, triggering an **explosive wave of protests and riots**. For *six days**, the **1992 Los Angeles Riots* engulfed the city in **violence, looting, arson, and civil unrest**, resulting in **more than 60 deaths, thousands of injuries, and an estimated $1 billion in property damage**. The National Guard, U.S. Army, and Marine Corps were eventually deployed to restore order. The King beating and subsequent *riots* led to *widespread police reform efforts* and a deeper national reckoning on *race, law enforcement, and justice* in the United States. In *1993**, after intense public pressure, the **officers were retried in federal court**, where two of them were found guilty and sentenced to **prison terms**. **Rodney King later received a $3.8 million settlement* from the city but struggled with the trauma of the incident for the rest of his life.
