| @[Smokler:207] This information is false. The riots were not in response to King's death because the riots happened in 1967. King was assassinated in 1968. The riots began because of system of racism and oppression against Black Americans across the United States. What started the riots was a series of injustices carried out by the Detroit police department who targeted Blacks. Three young men were killed by police. They were charged but not convicted. | |
