The clip opens with a building on fire. The narrator explains that troops had to be deployed to downtown LA after a civil rights protest went wrong. A curfew was put in place and a old jail was reopened after 30,000 people were arrested. The news reports seem to put the blame on Martin Luther Kin jr.
