This Day in History: Rodney King Beating Is Videotaped.

March 3, 1991.

The 25-year-old Black construction worker was beaten by four white LAPD officers.

George Holliday videotaped the assault from his nearby apartment.

King had been involved in a high-speed chase with police after he attempted to outrun California Highway Patrol.

Two tasers were used on King, who was unarmed.

He was also struck by officers' batons 33 times and kicked six times.

Two days after the beating, Holliday took the video to KTLA television.

It became an instant media sensation, leading to charges against the officers.

They were acquitted on April 29, 1992.

Within hours of the acquittal, riots broke out in Los Angeles that would last for six days.

The riots resulted in 63 deaths, thousands of injuries, fires and over $1 billion in financial losses

VIDEO: Texas Congressman Gill MOCKS Mamdani To 'Go Back To Third World' Over Biriyani Video

A Texas Republican Congressman, Brandon Gill, sparked outrage after making a racist remark against Indian-origin New York politician Zohran Mamdani for eating biryani with his hands. Gill reshared a video of Mamdani eating during an interview and wrote, ā€œCivilized people in America don’t eat like this. Go back to the Third World.ā€ The video showed Mamdani discussing taboo topics in U.S. politics while calmly eating. Ironically, Gill is married to Danielle D’Souza, daughter of Indian-American commentator Dinesh D’Souza. Social media erupted, highlighting hypocrisy and sharing photos of Trump eating with his hands. Gill has a history of racist rhetoric, recently posting two contrasting pictures of Los Angeles to argue against immigration. Mamdani, born in Uganda and raised in NYC, was explaining how his worldview on Palestine is shaped by his Third World roots. The comment by Gill has triggered a larger debate on race, culture, and what defines ā€œAmerican values.ā€ #ZohranMamdani #BrandonGill #RacismInPolitics #TexasCongressman #IndianOrigin #BiryaniGate #ThirdWorld #CulturalRacism #Islamophobia #PalestinePolitics #AmericanValues #TrumpHypocrisy #RightWingRacism #EndWokeness #DineshDSouza #DanielleDSouza #UgandaToNYC #NewYorkPolitics #GOPControversy #MamdaniSpeaks ~HT.408~
