Rodney King was beaten by the police in 1991. He was surrounded, and beaten with night sticks and tasered every time he disobeyed an order to stay on the ground. This incident caused a trial for the police officers on charges of police brutality.

If that incident happened today, there would be no possibility that Rodney King would have survived. He would have been shot multiple times, and there would not have been any trial of the officers.

Vince, FYI, Rodney didn't survive. DOA: Overdose.

You (a) never saw the whole video
(b) the cops were found innocent
(c)George HW Bush pandered and brought them up on federal charges AFTER they were acquitted. Even the ACLU thought it was screwy (but of course did not help them.)
(d)Review the case. The guy who went to prison saved Rodney King's life by ordering the cops NOT to shoot him.
(e) Rodney was high on PCP, but that evidence was not allowed in
(f)The federal jury was intimidated.

Rodney King? Pick another example. Your grandmother would have shot that SOB without a second thought. I would have loaded and spotted for her, too.
