This just came across my news alerts. They found him at the bottom of a pool.

Remember the big uproar in Houston over the cop acquitted in the suspect beating case? Well, he is the suspect in that case that was arrested again for burglary last week.

Rodney King led a very sad and troubled life. R.I.P.

Back to Rodney King.
The first police officer to respond to the scene was quoted as saying "I swear to God, I found him like this!"

I was lucky enugh to be in LA when all this went down. there was only one mistake made the first responding officer should have just shot him, would have been well justified. there would have been no violation of civil rights, no wasting of time and no settlement for 4mill iirc.
wonder what the tox screen will come back with?
one less convic in this world.
On a differnt note from what I heard on the radio this morning his girlfriend's story keeps changing.

I sent WildBill my compliments on this post by PM earlier. I sent it by PM in order to perhsps discourage in advance the racist statements I was sure would follow, but which I hoped would not.
Once again my effort failed.

...this happens more and more frequently here...if you don't like what someone says...throw "racist" at 'em...not ONE of these comments had any mention of race...until the one which complained...argue...discuss...but let's be fair and honest....
