Los Angeles/Prague, April 27 (ČTK) - The case began with a photo showing the brutal beating of black motorist Rodney King by Los Angeles police officers. The brutal violence of white lawmen has caused a major scandal in the US. The subsequent high-profile trial and, above all, the jury's acquittal triggered several days of racial riots in a number of cities that claimed nearly 60 victims. The controversial verdict was handed down 25 years ago, on 29. April 1992. A year earlier, King was speeding down the highway when he was pursued by four officers. After a chase through the Los Angeles suburbs, he was pulled over and beaten when he refused to comply with their orders. According to the police version, he resisted arrest and was under the influence of alcohol and drugs. Amateur video footage also showed officers using batons and kicking King as he lay on the ground. Within two minutes he had suffered serious injuries - 11 skull fractures, brain and kidney damage. The entire incident was filmed by a random witness without the police knowing about it. They made false statements in their report and did not mention the fact that King had suffered a head injury. The video was broadcast the next day by television stations around the world. The case has caused widespread outrage in the United States. The Los Angeles Police Department had a reputation as a brutal and racist force, and this was reportedly not the first (or last) instance of officers overstepping their authority in the West's largest city. The trial raised many doubts. The trial was moved from Los Angeles to an affluent suburb, despite claims of "demographic disparity." The jury, which had no black members, found that the officers did not overstep their legal bounds and acquitted them of excessive force. On the day of his sentencing, Dec. 29. On April 4, 1992, storms erupted in South Central Los Angeles, a predominantly African-American and Latino neighborhood.

In the case of the ozone hole, it is not a "hole" in the true sense of the word, but a decrease in concentration, dilution of ozone at a certain place in the ozone layer caused by human activity. It is destroyed in particular by chlorofluorocarbons - freons, which are extremely stable. They are mainly used as refills for refrigerators, fire extinguishers and as propellants for sprays. Freons slowly rise through the atmosphere (about 10 years or more) and ascend to high altitudes, where they remain for centuries and permanently dilute the ozone layer. This allows the passage of ultraviolet radiation to the earth's surface, which among other things causes skin cancer or visual impairment and weakens the immunity of organisms.
