"Rodney King, motorist whose beating by Los Angeles police officers sparked deadly US race riots, dead at 47"

The medical records showed that some of Kings bones were nearly beaten into powder. No one deserves that sort of treatment. What I saw wasn't a man trying not to cooperate with the cops, but one trying to get way from the cops because of the beating. No one is trying make a hero out of him we are aware he was no angel, but the cops were worse thugs. Los Angeles was always like that, they would stop black people if they saw them out of their "own neighborhood", that included black people who lived in "white neighborhoods".

I will be very interested in what the autopsy shows.

RIP. They were talking about this all day Sunday and heavily on Monday. Despite not being an activist, Rodney will still go down in history as this sort of unwitting pinpoint of the latter day civil rights movement.
