Ideal Answer: the ideal answer should:
1. Explain that King was a convicted felon who was pulled over for driving under the influence and then beaten mercilessly when he attempted to resist police abuse.
2. Note that the policemen went on trial for beating King and were acquitted, sparking a city-wide riot in Los Angeles.
3. Conclude that the event produced a riot that revealed the nation continued to have problems of racial discrimination and violence.
