The Untold LA Riots Shootout That Nearly Led to Unimaginable Consequences

Fred Reynolds joins HBH to tell the story of a shootout that could have escalated the 1992 Los Angeles riots into something far worse. He discusses his experiences as a black police officer during one of the nation's most significant racial conflicts, and the long-lasting effects the riots have had on policing.

Fred grew up in gangland Detroit, deciding to leave a path destined for prison - or worse - for the Marines. After serving, he moved to Southern California where he would become a member of the Compton Police Department and one of the most decorated Detectives in California history. Fred is the author of ‘Black, White, and Gray All Over: A Black Man’s Odyssey In Life and Law Enforcement’.
