This riot is a replication of what happened in the infamous Los Angeles 3 day rampaging riots when the police were ordered to stand down by city & state officials-
Rioters were stopped finally when, afraid, that this wanton destructive & murderous action would be copy cated, the Clinton admin ordered the Federal Troops up from Camp Pendelton, CA who decisively intervened.
None of the then active authorities were ever charged with obvious recorded dereliction of duty to protect the public in the face of the enemy. Especially the peaceful non-demonstrating Korean community was racially targeted mauled, pillaged & murdered without ever receiving justice, recognition or compensation for their loses :-(

MORAL:

"If we don't learn from past mistakes, we are domed to repeat them"
