Was it RINO GHWB, friend of OBAMA and CLINTON, who owes his political life to Reagan or was it Clinton in 1993 who brought the federal charges against the LA police? The riots were in May 1992; the trial followed, but I think Clinton was in office before the “civil rights” charges came. I could be wrong.
On August 4, 1992 a Federal Grand Jury after hearing evidence from federal prosecutors, indicted the four officers on charges of violating King's civil rights.
