L.A. Riots Revisited When the verdict of the Rodney King police brutality trial was released, a riot ensued in South Central Los Angeles—one of the worst civil disturbances in American history. This edition of Investigative Reports examines every aspect of that notorious case. Special attention is given to how the TV station that originally aired the videotape of King’s beating edited out 13 seconds showing King charging the officers, why the command and control structure of the L.A.P.D. crumbled during the riots, and what progress has been made in rebuilding the neighborhoods affected by the violence.

The New Skinheads This edition of Investigative Reports provides a chilling look at the skinheads, a volatile movement that became increasingly subtle and sophisticated in spreading its divisive and dangerous message.
