Beat the devil. (Los Angeles, California riots) The biggest architectural loss was Young's Market Building, originally Andrew's Hardware, built on the corner of 7th and Union in 1924. The Los Angeles communities are demanding that they are policed and patrolled by individuals who live in the community and the commanding officers be ten-year residents of the community in which they serve.
