Best Answer

The actual flashpoint for the Watts Riots, there is one and only one action which provoked the 5 days of riots: Marquette Fry (the pulled black male pulled over & subsequently placed under arrest for DWI) bolting toward the black crowd. Had Mr. Fry simply submitted to the arrest ... there NEVER would have been a Watts Riots.
