An Insight into The Liberal Spin on Riots 
 
Media has always been the chief medium of circulating any news. Whether it is some 
important political news, entertainment news, or some social events, the news channels 
broadcast the news and send messages to the global watchers. But have you ever thought 
about the implications of sending the wrong message through the media? The result can be 
outrageous. So, it is always the responsibility of the news reporters to maintain the originality 
of the news. 
 
Share responsibly 
The 1992 Los Angeles riots started as the trial jury acquitted four police officers from LAPD 
even on excessive torturing and beating Rodney King. The video of the torture was a 
nationwide broadcast over the TV channels. Thousands of Americans started to protest over 
six days after the passing of the verdict. Looting and assault took place as the police failed to 
control the angry mob. If you think in the present context. You will realize that it is also the 
duty of media and the viewers to share the videos after thinking about the impacts. 
 
Worsening racism 
Talking about the liberal spin on riots, racism has always been a problem in the socio-political 
arena. There is a difference between a riot and a rebellion. Although the liberals claim that 
the events of 1992 were an uprising war, the fact holds that it was a riot. There have been 
 
examples of racism in the country, making liberals feel that discrimination is harmful to the 
peaceful social life where the people of different races stay in the same community. 
 
Protest with a motive 
The riot was ultimately chaos as the liberals failed to convey the right messages. It was easy to 
showcase the assaults as hooliganism while the liberals were actually trying to protest against 
the differentiations. Looting of assets became the evidence for the greed of the protestors while 
the liberals tried to establish that the motives of the people were complex. 
 
Vent to anger 
The liberal spin on riots is all about venting out the anger through the protests and riots. But 
when you think from an apolitical person's point of view, is it possible to send any good 
message by attacking the reporters or shooting at the news copters? These may be the outcome 
of anger, but the message would have been clear if the riots did not reach a point of violence. 
 
Finding peace 
Violence can never be the solution to any problem, even if some people have been suffering for 
years. If the rioters tried to get respect, it was not feasible to attack the firemen, school buses, 
or paramedics. Nobody can gain anything by hurting the emergency service providers or 
children. Humanity is above such racism and violence. 
 
Instill hope 
 
Minorites have always faced discrimination. But the riot only caused violence, and it is 
impossible to get justice through violence. Sixty-three people died officially, which can never 
be a ray of hope for the rioters. If you want to instill hope in the minds of these people, love 
and peace is the only way out.
