Welcome to the party DBR!!
AND I have a pretty stubborn about that Rodney King thing.... Most people don't realize that he was driving like a maniac at tops speeds in a residential area when he was finally stopped. From what I am reading here it sounds like some innocent people were killed and hurt- and for that I am truly sorry. IMO- people who lead police on high speed chases need to be brought up on assault with deadly weapons charges if they aren't killed outright. ( which I don't have an issue with)
I want the police to beat anyone, within an inch of their life who dares to race away from them at 70-80 mph thru the streets close to where my kids play.
