WATTS RIOT

FILE - In this Aug. 14, 1965, file photo, firefighters battle a blaze set in a shoe store that collapses in flames during rioting in the Los Angeles community of Watts. Watts has been associated with an uprising in 1965 that led to burned-down buildings and bloodshed. But when some protests against racial injustice in 2020 devolved into vandalism and looting, Watts has been peaceful. (AP Photo/File)
