Administrators in the National Guard spoke in a forum on the role of the National Guard and the federal military in handling civil disorder, such as the 1992 rioting in Los Angeles following the acquittal of four white police officers charged with beating a black suspect. The forum took place during a meeting of law enforcement personnel on civil disorder. The panelists spoke on the federal response to unrest or disaster when requested by the governor of a state including comparisons between the unrest in L.A. in 1992 and the riots in the Watts section of L.A. in 1968. close
