Rodney King, Los Angeles Riots 20th Anniversary
The 20th anniversary of the 1992 Los Angeles riots is marked by media retrospectives, including a real-time Twitter reenactment by NBC Los Angeles. Rodney King appeared on Dr. Drew's program alongside prosecutor Marcia Clark to discuss his new book, *The Riot Within*. The media coverage is analyzed as an attempt to link historical racial tensions to the contemporary Trayvon Martin case for political purposes.
