Best Answer

The Watts Riot that gained the most national attention occurred in Watts, a district of South Central Los Angeles, California in August, 1965. After five days of rampage and chaos, 34 people were dead (mostly Black citizens being shot by LAPD for looting, resisting arrest, or for being in the wrong place at the wrong time) and there was over 40 million dollars in damage.
