Err, no? The demorats were in charge of LA during the riots and their pigs in uniform acted accordingly. Don't fall for the propaganda of the Leftoids.
The person most responsible for the L.A. riots was LAPD Police Chief Daryl Gates, who was a "tough on crime" conservative type who actively encouraged racism and abuse of power in his force. Gates strongly opposed the concept of "community policing", believing that the police should be aloof from and even hostile to the general public, especially minority communities. He was rather infamous for incendiary statements, such as the assertion that anyone who ever used illegal drugs, even casual and infrequent users, was a "traitor" who should be summarily executed without trial.
Gates was *extremely* at odds with the Democratic mayor of L.A., and part of how he completely fucked up handling the riots was that he literally cared more about showing up the mayor and scoring political points for himself than actually getting the situation under control. To the point that when the crisis erupted, Gates' response was *literally* to leave police headquarters because he had a scheduled political fundraiser to go to.
