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
2:40
anyone's ever been out here and show
2:41
what it looks like now so I figured I
2:42
would be the one to show you what it
2:44
looks like present day in
