https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodney_King

"The station cut ten seconds of the video, before the image was in focus, that showed an extremely blurry shot of King charging at the officers. Later members of the jury said that this cut footage was essential to their decision to acquit the officers."

A good many people died due to media incitement. I can remember they replayed the beating many, many times on TV news, and every chance they got.
