The aftermath of the LAPD riots following the Rodney King incident led to widespread public outrage and scrutiny of police brutality. It highlighted racial tensions and exposed systemic issues within law enforcement. The incident also spurred reforms within the LAPD and raised awareness about the need for greater accountability and oversight in policing.
LAPD officers are usually deputized in the county so if needed they can respond to situations when county officers are busy, but LAPD does not have authority over LA County Sheriffs Dept.

Rodny King, the so called Rodny King riots; the riots occured in 1992. And frankly, it's a little more complex than a 'motorist who was beaten in LA'. Mr. King's being video-taped made national news; however, there was a bit more than the video at issue there. Do Google for " LA riots 1992" and for race riots United States, France, Germany, South Africa, Zambize; lots of race riots seems to occur; again the simple video from Mr. King was sort of minor. There was a lot behind the riot in LA in 1992.
The precipitating factor in the Rodney King riots was the acquittal of four LAPD officers involved in the beating of Rodney King. The failure to convict the officers led to widespread outrage and protests that escalated into riots.
Rodney King was most famous for being beaten by four LAPD officers in 1991, which led to widespread riots in Los Angeles following the acquittal of the officers involved. His case brought national attention to issues of police brutality and race relations.
In all, 53 people died during the riots and thousands more were injured in the 1992 Los Angeles riots. Widespread looting, assault, arson and murder occurred, and property damages topped roughly US$1 billion.
