* The end missions in the game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas revolve around the acquittal of two extremely corrupt police officers (Frank Tenpenny and Eddie Pulaski, both antagonists in the game) in 1992. Their acquittal causes riots throughout the city of Los Santos, which is modeled on Los Angeles.

* In Earthbound after Ness beats the first boss in the game, when he is taken to a police station, and attacked one-by-one by four police officers and their captain. The scene in the game mirrors the 1991 beating of Rodney King in Los Angeles.

IIRC there was actually a period around the time the PSP GTAs came out where Rockstar was considering a San Andreas Stories game where you played as Tenpenny before the events of SA, but it was shut down really early on after they realized that getting Samuel L. Jackson to do voice work for an entire game would probably bankrupt them.
