My stepdad was in the USA when the Rodney King verdict was handed down. The hotel manager- a black man- told him to stay in his room and not to go anywhere or open the door for anyone. Just as well 'cos half the neighbourhood went up in flames.
The current case involving the five black police officers and the death of Tyre Nichols could be just as bad. Many business have closed their doors and started boarding up their windows in anticipation of what's to come.
