If you want state violence against the people between those events to act as a bridge you can look at the National Guard’s handling of student protestors against the Vietnam war or police violence against people of color for having the audacity to get out into the streets and say “We would appreciate not being killed”
The LA Riots in the early 90s were famously sparked by the Air Jordan 6 being out of stock and the Air Jordan 7 not being released yet. There were no other potential causes worth looking into. Definitely just looters upset about the unavailability of particular products
Luckily the FBI never car bombed anyone in the 90s, or assassinated any of the people behind the '16 and '20 uprisings. They wouldn’t do that sort of thing.
I was gonna say MOVE bombings of 1985 for something more recent, but together we’re building context.

The panthers had nothing wrong done to them. It was fine. They all died of old age or are living out on farms having had long happy lives.
