The riots began on August 11, 1965, in Watts, a neighborhood in Los Angeles, when Lee Minikus, a California Highway Patrol motorcycle officer, pulled over Marquette Frye, who Minikus believed was intoxicated because of his observed erratic driving.
As for the actual flashpoint for the Watts Riots, there is one and only one action which provoked the 5 days of riots: Marquette Fry bolting toward the black crowd. Had Mr. Fry simply submitted to the arrest ... the Watts Riots NEVER would have occurred.
