Soviet Union 1991

First update

After receiving a special order from Moscow, KGB agents began to collect firearms on the black market. According to the order issued by the KGB, the firearms used must be small-caliber automatic weapons that are easy to carry concealed, so the Uzi submachine gun that fires 9mm caliber bullets became the best choice. Almost overnight, the price of Uzi submachine guns on the black market rose by about 15%.

If the US Bureau of Gun Control received intelligence on the circulation of black market firearms, it would be very surprised. Almost within a few days, countless pistols and submachine guns were purchased by unknown persons, and then these guns were transported to Los Angeles and lost contact. In Los Angeles, KGB agents are waiting for the final order to provide arms to the rioting blacks.

Just within two weeks of the outbreak of this incident, many newspapers published many news articles about this incident, and many news stations also discussed this incident in their programs. Public opinion believed that this was a shocking tragedy and strongly accused the police of abusing their power, which led to this disaster.

Afterwards, the Los Angeles District Attorney prosecuted four police officers suspected of beating and attacking Rodney King. The trial was held in Ventura County, which is adjacent to Simi Valley, which is dominated by white people and politically conservative. However, no Ventura County residents served as jurors. The jury members were all residents of San Fernando Valley. After the court learned about the situation, the jury watched the route themselves and verified the oral statements of the witnesses at the time. They found the four police officers not guilty and there was no excessive use of force. There was no so-called fallacy of police abuse of power.

However, this incident became the fuse for the riots. At 3:15 p.m. local time on Wednesday, after the four police officers were released by the court, only thirty minutes later, a large number of people who heard the news protested outside the Los Angeles District Court. Most of these people were black, and the long-term oppression of white discrimination finally broke out at this moment. They held up banners at the door outside the Los Angeles Court and loudly protested the injustice of the verdict.

Someone reported this to LAPD Chief Brian, saying that a group of blacks were blocking the outside of the local court, and they wanted to ask for an explanation for the police's acquittal. This incident did not attract Brian's attention. He just nodded and said that he would send someone to deal with it. Disperse this group of people by force.

But the reporter obviously disagreed with the sheriff's downplaying approach. He emphasized again, "These blacks are obviously coming for the police incident. If decisive action is not taken, I am afraid that the impact will be further expanded at that time."

"Okay, I will deal with it. If there is nothing else, go to work." Brian was obviously impatient with the reporting police officer, and waved him out, asking him not to disturb his work. At this time, Brian did not realize that his inaction actually opened a Pandora's box.

At 6 pm. Some African Americans began to gather at the intersection of Florence and Normandy Streets in south-central Los Angeles. This time, some young and middle-aged African Americans gathered. They shouted slogans for freedom and equality, and began to attack white people and smashed the crowd. The peaceful protest gradually turned into a prelude to disorderly riots.

After hearing the news, the local police immediately dispatched 24 police officers to disperse the protesters. When the 24 people arrived at the place where the blacks gathered, they found that the opposite side was a group of black heads. The police force was of no help at all. The number was too disparate, and the police quickly announced to retreat and let the situation continue to deteriorate.

At 6:15 pm. Another group of demonstrators appeared at the Park Center. As if someone deliberately incited or carefully arranged, the southern part of Los Angeles was filled with uneasy emotions. The streets were full of black people holding sticks, water pipes and the like. They walked in groups on the streets, and the lone white people saw such a fierce team and unconsciously scattered and hid.

But the nightmare was far from over. The crowd at the intersection of Florence and Normandy Street had begun to riot, robbed and attacked businesses and vehicles. Most of the victims were white people. Some people were looted, and some were beaten to a bloody mess. This group of black people, like locusts, looted all the stores in one block and then swarmed to another block. They shouted that they wanted to take back all the property seized by the white people.

At this time, the intersection of Lorenza and Normandy Streets was in chaos. Many buildings were damaged and set on fire with petrol bombs. The burning flames illuminated the gray sky of the block. Some thugs even attacked the rescuers who came. Soon after, the thugs began to move to the streets in the south. Later, Park Center also fell into chaos. The black thugs were no longer satisfied with simple robbery. They took advantage of the riots to burn stores, beat passers-by wantonly, and even wanted to rob ATMs, brazenly challenging the legal dignity of the United States.

It was not until the alarm bells rang in the police station that Chief Brian realized that the riot had reached a very serious level. He quickly ordered all the police in the police station to go out to stop the black riot. However, at this time, relying solely on the police force of the Los Angeles Police Department could no longer stop them.

When the police with riot guns and shields arrived at the scene, they found something even more terrifying. Most of the rioters at the intersection of Normandy and Florence actually had guns in their hands. Although they were small-caliber pistols and submachine guns, they were more than enough to face the police who had no self-defense weapons.

The rioters shot at the Los Angeles police, and the police with riot guns were immediately knocked to the ground. The colleagues who were not shot dragged the injured police to evacuate, while throwing tear gas to fight back. After tasting the initial sweetness, the rioters began to change from attacking white civilians to shooting police to vent their violence.

Some police officers were injured and fell to the ground, calling for support through walkie-talkies. When they were discovered by the rioters, they immediately raised their guns and shot them one by one. The police cars that came to support were burned, and those police officers were also killed by the armed rioters in a hurry. In an instant, the entire Normandy block was filled with a pungent smell of blood, like the ruins after an earthquake, with sharp and piercing alarms, a large area of ​​blood on the ground, noisy voices in the walkie-talkies and urgent calls for support, the lights of the vehicles blocking the road were flashing, and the shops on both sides of the road were burning with flames.

The Los Angeles police began to reorganize. They took automatic rifles from the armory of the police station. Everyone loaded the magazines and prepared to fight the rioters to the death.

Then the news that 23 police officers were shot almost shocked the entire Los Angeles police force, because no one expected that the rioters actually had shooting weapons in their hands, so that they were defeated without any protective measures. This riot was much more serious than the one in history, and it could almost be said to be an armed riot.

Mario, the US president, who was just lying in bed and about to fall asleep, was suddenly awakened by a phone ring. He picked up the phone impatiently and said hello. The words of the person on the other end of the phone made Mario sober up immediately. He quickly turned on the TV. The city of Los Angeles on the screen, which was in flames, made the newly elected US president feel nervous.

Twenty-three policemen were shot, countless stores were looted, and even the city of Los Angeles was set on fire. The scope of the riots was still expanding. All the messy things were intertwined, which posed a big problem for Mario. How to solve this turmoil? He just took the position of president.

Mario quickly got out of bed. While changing his clothes, he said to the person on the phone, "Arrange a press conference immediately, yes, right now. Also, arrange a car immediately, I will rush to the press conference site right now."

Mario certainly knew that the sooner he showed his attitude and determination in such a matter, the better. How could he not understand this truth after so many years in the political arena? So the first thing he had to do now was to severely condemn the riots and show his firm attitude to the people. After all, when such an incident occurs, the president’s attitude is the most important, and then it is about finding ways to suppress the turmoil. (To be continued.)
