The Newark Riots were started by African American who felt powerless. Two white cops arrested a black taxi driver, who allegedly assaulted a police officer. People thought the police were being brutal to African Americans, so they rioted for four days.
The Detroit Riots lasted five days. A police raid of an unlicensed bar started it, trying to arrest eighty-two people. It is the third largest riot in U.S. history with forty-three people dead and four hundred and sixty-three injured.
