- W2334900303 abstract "The Watts Riots were a disaster of the first magnitude because of their destructive impact on lives and property and because they represented a new kind of hazard akin to insurrection. The involvement of the population was much more substantial than most persons realized. For the insurance industry this crisis posed the problem of maintaining continuous markets in an extreme form. The Watts Pool, a voluntary reinsurance program was put into operation and helped provide fire and extended coverage markets. The magnitude and intensity of the ghetto revolts in the United States in the 1960's raise a serious question whether, in the present regulatory framework, private carriers can provide continuous insurance markets without more government intervention. At 7:00 p.m. August 11, 1965 the trigger which led to the Watts riots was pulled. Marquette Frye, driving recklessly approximately 50 miles per hour in a 35 mile zone was flagged by police officer Lee Minikus for drunk driving. Frye pulled over to the curb. Lena Frye, mother of the drunk driver, came onto the scene at once to argue with the police officer. Her comments led her son to refuse to accept his arrest. A crowd gathered and at 7:19 p.m. a call was placed for emergency help. Help arrived immediately in considerable force. More than 27 squad cars arrived on the scene within a matter of minutes. The flashing red lights and sirens of the police cars served to stimulate the gathering of an ever increasing crowd at the scene of the arrest. The continuing resistance to arrest made it appear to onlookers that there was an excessive amount of force Irving Pfeffer, Ph.D., C.L.U., C.P.C.U., is Professor of Insurance in the Graduate School of Business Administration of the University of California, Los Angeles. Dr. Pfeffer is author of Insurance and Economic Theory and has contributed articles to the C.L.U. Journal, the C.P.C.U. Annals, and this Journal. This paper was presented at the 1967 Annual Meeting of A.R.I.A. used and, with the arrival of additional units of police, the mood of the crowd changed from curious to grumbling to hostile. Several women began to shout trash at the officers. A woman barber who joined the crowd spat on some of the officers and an attempt was made to arrest her. Some people in the crowd grabbed her arms in order to resist arrest and there was a kind of tug-of-war. The police were uncertain as to what strategy was appropriate in view of the fact that the crowd had now increased to several hundred persons and the police were seriously outnumbered. Some felt that the appropriate action was to get out of the situation rather than attempt to make the arrests. Others were trapped in the crowd and compelled to continue with what they were doing. The female barber fought vigorously to resist arrest. Her foul language and resistance made it difficult to get her into the police car. The crowd tended to look on her being led away as an additional humiliation on the Negro by the white policemen and the final insult. Distorted versions of this arrest spread quickly and wild rumors devel-" @default.
