1:01 you can see a building that's kind of
1:02 caddy
1:04 corner you can see on this the shots
1:07 when the helicopter was way up in the
1:08 air filming down the truck would have
1:11 been right here where these people were
1:12 walking and right where those kids are
1:14 walking is where the beating happened
1:16 the four
1:17 men beat the truck driver down this was
1:20 the start of the LA riots 1992 the
1:23 corner of
1:24 Normandy see Normandy up there and West
1:28 Florence
1:31 you remember watching this on the news
1:33 when you were a young kid I was five I
1:35 think I was I just started kindergarten
1:36 at the time it's pretty wild the beauty
1:39 of the internet is you can go back and
1:40 watch things like this on either YouTube
1:42 there's a police officer here only if
1:44 the police had been here maybe the
1:46 Savage beating would not have happened
1:48 right there but there was not enough
1:49 police officers to fight off all the L
1:52 looters and the riers up the this was
1:55 basically where all of it happened and
1:57 started and it moved on into other parts
1:59 parts of LA all happened right here you
2:02 see this Philip 76 right here that
2:05 awning was still the same so if you
2:06 watch the video clip you can see a long
2:08 long awning there and the camera turns
2:11 and you can also see that building
2:12 sideways I believe there was another
2:14 building here where the Auto Zone is
2:16 this actually was a different building
2:18 but the liquor store the liquor store
2:20 was also there and you see the high up
2:22 shots you see all the looters just
2:23 raiding the place dragging people out of
2:25 their cars throwing rocks and bottles of
2:27 cars people in a panic driving off it
2:30 all happened right
2:37 here pretty wild stuff here here in La
2:37 not the greatest memory for a lot of
2:38 people but I figured I don't think

2:42 would be the one to show you what it
2:44 looks like present day in
