Well, I've also heard that away from the riots it was just life as normal. However, those pictures aren't interesting.
Having said that, I'm glad that those in LA are making their displeasure with the government known. Wish it had been peaceful or as I've heard, it was peaceful until someone decided to make headlines by sending in the troops.
Be interesting to see whether the USA decides to continue down their path or if judges and senators decide to flex their muscles.
