Musical group Sublime has a song titled "April 29, 1992"[0] that describes this in great detail, from a first-person perspective. They lyrically describe the theft/riot angle being catharsis for years of police oppression.
"Everybody in the hood has had it into here. It's getting harder and harder and harder every year... They said it was for the black man, they said it was for the Mexican[s], and not for the white man - but if you look at the streets, It wasn't about Rodney King. It's this [expletive] situation and [expletive] police. It's about coming up, and staying on top, and [showing dominance over] an [expletive] cop."
