Hmmm, when it starts who will the police be going after with all their MRAPs?
No one...too controversial. Doesn't matter what toys the authorities have (many SWAT units existed at the time) if they are too political to use them. The police pulled out and left Los Angeles to burn until the National Guard finally came in. Actually, I think the savages just got tired and went home to drink their stolen booze and enjoy their stolen TV's.
What really torked me off, was the Firemen being shot at and/or molotov cocktails thrown at them with little to no police support. That's why LA burned for so long - the Fire Departments had to stop responding to save their own and I don't blame them. What a disgrace that was to Los Angeles Police Department, but then they've long been known to be disgraceful.
The only problem with the savages' "burn, baby, burn" mentality is guess who pays to rebuild their crappy "hood". Again, I hope they come to suburbia. And yes, Intel Agencies, I will go to jail before I tell you who owns them. Been there, done that in my youth. Have less fear nowadays at my end days.
