Back in 92 4 LAPD officers were caught beating the living shit out of Rodney King on video tape.
They went to court and were acquitted of all charges, which sparked the L.A. riots.
I am sure it sparked several other riots across the globe.
Toronto had its reaction to this event as well...
If any good came of this, I would say it was stand up and fight or go buck crazy. After the riots a federal trial for civil rights violations was called and it ended with two of the officers found guilty and sent to prison and the other two officers acquitted.
