The riots in Detroit, Newark (had relatives on the police force), and Watts caused far more damage in terms of property and lost lives back in the 1960s. How were the rioters pacified?

1. Government jobs.

2. Affirmative Action

3. Due to white flight, blacks now had political dominance in Newark and Detroit.

So did the appeasement work, or just delay the inevitable?

You forgot all the major cities that went up after MLK was assasinated
