Questions: Question 3 Rather than identify police brutality as a cause for the riots, President Johnson instead focused on unfair enforcement of laws, discrimination, poverty.

The answer is poverty.

While unfair enforcement of laws can contribute to social unrest, President Johnson's focus during the time of the riots was more on broader systemic issues rather than just law enforcement practices.

Peaceful protests are generally not associated with causing riots. President Johnson did not focus on peaceful protests as a cause for the riots.

Discrimination is a significant factor in social unrest, but President Johnson's emphasis was more on the economic conditions that exacerbated these issues.

President Johnson identified poverty as a root cause of the riots. He believed that economic deprivation and lack of opportunities were fundamental issues that needed to be addressed to prevent such unrest. This aligns with his broader "War on Poverty" initiative during his presidency.
