New poll suggests LA residents think more riots ahead

Today, members of the black and Korean communities are coming together as they look back on the riots 25 years ago, but that doesn’t change the latest survey numbers.  “Fifty-eight percent of the residents who completed our survey in the city of Los Angeles think that another riot will be likely,” said Brianne Gilbert of Loyola Marymount University.  LMU has conducted the poll every five years since the 1992 riots. This is the first time researchers have seen the population’s fears of new riots rise, though the researchers say the results may be tied to Donald Trump’s presidency. “It’s important to note the survey was in the field during the month of January and February, so it was during the time of the inauguration,” Gilbert said.
