| | :Not going to enter the edit war unless I have to, but the article really should mention the beating (whether it was justified or not, there's no doubt that there was a beating, by four police officers, of one guy who was on the ground at the time.

And while underlying factors made the riot possible, and maybe even inevitable, the acquittal was THE triggering event, and should be acknowedged as such.--[[User:Frey|Frey]] 09:41, 6 November 2008 (EST) | | :Not going to enter the edit war unless I have to, but the article really should mention the beating (whether it was justified or not, there's no doubt that there was a beating, by four police officers, of one guy who was on the ground at the time.
