DescriptionTroops sent to LA during riots May 1, 1992, (6984484424).jpg |
Twenty years ago, May 1, 1992, President George H. W. Bush sent federal troops to Los Angeles to help stop the rioting sparked by the acquittal of cops who beat down Rodney King. I was on one of these C-141s (now retired), flying troops from Fort Ord, Calif. (now closed), to Marine Corps Air Station El Toro (now closed). Never thought I’d see such a thing in my own country, let alone California. Still find every element of this story to be hard to understand. Shot on Tri-X pushed to 1600, Nikon F3HP, Nikkor 24/2., Exposure guestimate f2 at 1/8 sec (141s had dim lighting). Much of the power was out in LA, from the air, you could see the fires burning for miles. Soldiers from the 7th ID; aircrew from the 710 ALS. One of the saddest moments of my life. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1992_Los_Angeles_riots en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posse_Comitatus_Act |
