Shortly after the riots, he beat the living crap out of his then wife. Putting her in the hospital with far more serious injuries then he suffered at the hands of the police. Hopefuly, she sued him for some of the $3.8 mil he robbed from the taxpayers.

And therefore the LA police did the right thing after all and his court awarded settlement amounts to robbery. Funny how some people reason.

Two wrongs hardly make a right!

The police did exactly what they were taught to do. Beat large muscle groups on the bodies of unruly and unmanageable criminals until they are to such a weakened state, that they pose no threat. That is why they were acquitted in the first trial. The second trial was pure bullshit.

To be clear, I am no fan of cops. I was mugged over 20 years ago, and the arresting officer, later took a $20,000 bribe to give false testimony against me, allowinmg the perp to go free. I know what the police did by not arresting Zimmerman in Florida, was blatant racisim. And, due to my personal experiences, I wouldn't give a cop the time of day without a lawyer present, but in the Rodney King case, I call it like I see it. And, the police acted appropriately.

I hope that in all your future encounters with the police, they behave appropriately.
