Rodney King

@DIONYSES000AD  agh no less from the song rehab i presume!

no worries. I love wikipedia too.

That's not what she said to me! haha

She said "NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!"

@vaughnski Ok i wasnt implying anything i hope you know. I get most of my info from Wikipedia too, atleast wiki is honest unlike all the vids on here! Plus i think that wiki and Youtube are like distant cousins cos people constintly refer to it to settle a debate on here, so i`ve noticed. Shit i would`nt have known about this vid if it wasn`t for Wikipedia!

Haha. No- I didn't write that first part. That is how wikipedia describes the event (i.e. the "official" (police) history). In other words- that is what children in the future are going to think happened. I wanted to paste that up in contrast to the video.

@vaughnski so are you saying he deserved it somewhat, i cannot deduce either way!

Koon then ordered the four other LAPD officers at the scene to subdue and handcuff King. As the officers attempted to do so, King physically resisted. King rose up, tossing Officers Powell and Briseno off his back. King then allegedly struck Officer Briseno in the chest.[9] Seeing this, Koon ordered all of the officers to fall back.

This is the description of the event in the record books. Oh how information and consequently people are corrupted.

p.s. racism= ignorance. sucks for you.

The guy should have been restrained and cuffed without the use of batons. I remember eating in macdonalds in London and 3 cops cuffed up a violent 15st guy as quick as anything. I guess lack of gun culture gives less fear to the police in approaching.

Look at these worthless bitches sitting around just watching, that is why Maurice Clemons is a true hero!
