One cop at the time said that you knew a riot was in the works when buckets of rocks began to appear on rooftops, so many of these riots were not spontaneous, they were planned.

Ever notice how they stopped once the Soviet Union collapsed?

If you watch video of the riots/looting after the Rodney King Verdict, you will see what appear to be scouts probing ahead of the crowd, breaking select storefronts, and moving on. Then the looters go in. I think the entire thing was as much about 'free stuff' as protest, if not more so, and I think there were very organized looting teams (gangs?) moving through in the vanguard of the rioters.
