This isn’t the first time Waters has spoken positively of political violence. In March, she toldHuffPost that the horribly violent Los Angeles riots in 1992 were a “defining moment in the way that black people resisted.”
She also said, “These were people who had been basically forgotten”:
“And because of Rodney King’s beating and the current emotion that was stirring in that, it was like people were saying, ‘We’re here. You can’t do this to us. Look what you’re doing, look how you’ve been. Not only have you been with this consistent police abuse but the same people don’t have access to opportunities and jobs and health care and on and on.”
The riots also featured shocking violence on residents of the city. Random innocent peoplewere beaten and killed; many more businesses were destroyed.
