MTV produced a documentary for (I think) the tenth anniversary of the riots which I thought did a good job of speaking about the cultural impact of that moment. More recently I watched a doc (not sure who produced it) that focused on LAPD’s decision to pull out of the areas (either to relieve the tension or to let the city burn)... I’ll have to try and track it down again
