Kig tested negative for PCP after that incident.His problems aside, I have to say I appreciate Rodney King. He didn’t advocate for violence or hatred towards the police, he said, “Can’t we al get along.” His daughter promotes that message and works to promote accord with the police to this day.
” He didn’t advocate for violence or hatred towards the police, “
Perhaps you never saw the video that I only saw once, on NBC, the morning after the cops were acquitted, of the minutes before the clip that was shown a million times, in which he was pounding off about 8 cops, with a superhuman strength that sure as hell looked like PCP rage to me (and I’ve seen it in inpatient psych wards enough to know what it’s like—absolute hell.) The man was going to hurt a lot of people very badly if he wasn’t subdued, and it was going to take a hell of a lot to do it.
