1972's "Conquest of the Planet of the Apes" , which was shot in Century City which is part of
W.L.A., depicts an urban riot in 1991 L.A. The U.S. has become a police state & an "ape riot" is triggered by a merciless cop beating of a ape.

Very good film with clear allegorical overtones.
I wrote a chapter on this in a sci-fi film book that never got off the ground.

I would expound on this further, but, this would lead to misinterpretation from some quarters & I'd be tagged as a "racist" again which I'd rather avoid.

The film is perfect meinarsche fare------
