I didn't care about the 92 riots because that's the year I closed the construction company and wouldn't be involved plus all my friends in law envorcement had retired by then but as far as Watts the guard was riding around in jeeps with machine guns with no ammo, the Sheriffs dept was the one that did the most to restore order.
I was responding to you when you agreed with the other poster, saying the National Guard had ammo problems in the 1965 Watts riots.
I told you it was the '92 LA riots where that occurred and you said, "wrong".
I am not wrong.
That is also inaccurate. The NG had no problem with ammo in '65.
A small example of this.
There were two LAPD officers in an abandoned, partially burned apartment building on the 3rd floor that were attempting to spot shooters and bad guys. Due to lack of communications between LAPD and the NG, the NG rolled up and lit up the apartment building with automatic weapons, when seeing movement of armed people inside. They didn't know it was two LAPD officers. Both survived and were not injured.
