Description

On the night of March 2nd, 1991, at a remote intersection just outside of L.A., four police officers surrounded an unarmed Black man. They struck him 56 times with their batons before arresting him. 

Across the street, standing on his second-floor balcony, a bystander named George Holliday recorded the scene on his home video camera. 

This is what happened after the camera stopped rolling. 

Season 6 of Slow Burn is produced by Joel Anderson, Jayson De Leon, Ethan Brooks, Sophie Summergrad, and Jasmine Ellis.

Mixing by Merritt Jacob.
