Riots Prompt National Guard Rollout in Los Angeles
National Guard troops and police moved to retake lost neighborhoods as rioting, arson and looting gripped Los Angeles. President Bush ordered 4,000 troops on standby and dispatched 1,000 federal officers amid a dusk-to-dawn curfew and reports of 27 dead, 1,235 injured, and 3,000 arrests since the King beating acquittal triggered protests. The White House planned a national Oval Office address at 9 p.m. EDT.
