And in the Rodney King case, the MSM reported that he was a “motorist” beaten by cops. The clear implication was that he was pulled over for something minor such as a speeding ticket.
In fact, he was leading police on a high speed chase of over 100 mph. He was fleeing a crime scene, a crime in which he was the prime suspect, which is why the cops were chasing him. He was no random black “motorist” beaten up by cops.
And, the complete video showed the cops trying to subdue him with less forceful methods. The beating with nightsticks we all saw was the last resort, the final method used to subdue an uncooperative suspect who was resisting arrest.
The mistake the cops made was not beating Rodney bad enough.
