riots

The Seattle Mardi Gras riots occurred on February 27, 2001, when disturbances broke out in the Pioneer Square neighborhood during Mardi Gras celebrations in Seattle, Washington. There were numerous random attacks on revelers over a period of about three and a half hours. There were reports of widespread brawling, vandalism, and weapons being brandished. Damage to local businesses exceeded $100,000.
Much of the violence was perpetrated by black men against white revelers, and about 70 people were reported injured. Several women were sexually assaulted. One person, Kris Kime, died of injuries sustained during an attempt to assist a woman being brutalized.
It was the second serious rioting incident in over a three year period seen in Seattle—the first being the 1999 World Trade Organization's Minister Level Conference On World Free Trade. There were allegations of police misconduct and the highly controversial actions of officials in response to the riots were questioned.




The 2001 Cincinnati Race Riots. When police shot a thug in self-defense, blacks went on a rampage pulling whites from their cars and beating them. Uniformed Black Panther members, and people with Nation of Islam banners even took to the streets.

The Cincinnati riots of 2001 were the largest urban disorders in the United States since the Los Angeles riots of 1992.^[1] The four days of rioting were a reaction to the fatal shooting in Cincinnati, Ohio of Timothy Thomas, a 20-year-old black male, by Steven Roach, a white police officer, during an on-foot pursuit by several officers.



The 1992 Los Angeles Riots or South Central Riots, also known as the 1992 Los Angeles Civil Unrest^[1][2][3] were sparked on April 29, 1992, when a jury acquitted three white and one Hispanic Los Angeles Police Department officers accused in the videotaped beating of black motorist Rodney King following a high-speed pursuit. Thousands of people in the Los Angeles area rioted over the six days following the verdict.^[4]

Widespread looting, assault, arson and murder occurred, and property damages topped roughly $1 billion. In all, 53 people died during the riots and thousands more were injured
