Ever see a Rodney King pinata?
I was living in Las Vegas the same day of the Rodney King incident. In our building we had the case of a Charles Bush. It seems that in Vegas it is a felony to cohabitat with a streetwalker. He did and was visited at 3am that night by the Bad Boys (Vegas vice squad). We tenants at the Paradise Inn were told draw our drapes and not come outside our rooms. Half hour later the strangled naked corpse of Charles Bush was carted away in the coroners wagon. No video, cops acquitted. I thought they were a little heavy-handed in that one. To be fair to the Bad Boys he wasn't forced to wear panties on his head tho'...
