Weren’t the Rodney King cops sent to trial a second time after Clinton didnt like the outcome?

You are on to something here. I'm guessing that if Zimmerman is acquitted of murder charges, the fed's will fill a civil rights violation against him.

And then Zimmerman will be convicted in a federal court. The Attorney General will see to that.

IIRC,not Clinton, it was Bush 1.

First they were tried under state law, then due to the uproar, they were tried under federal law.

Yep, They were acquitted in state Court but retried in Federal Court for "civil rights violations". If the Feds want you, give your heart and soul to Jesus, because they will have your ass.

It's called hitting them with federal law charges after they've been acquitted of state law charges.

Fully expect racist POS Eric Holder and Obamessiah to do the same if Zimmerman is found not guilty in state court.

In the R King case the prosecution filed charges the evidence didn’t support, then moved the trial to Simi Valley, home of Reagan, so they could blame a not guilty on Reagan and republican racism

King had a $50+ million law suite filed and a guilty verdict would have proven negligence, not so much for the 4 cops that beat him but the 19 IIRC that stood and watched as he was beat.

Police have an affirmative duty to act if they observe a crime being committed AND they have the ability to stop the crime without putting themselves in danger.

19 law enforcement clearly had the ability to stop 4 from committing a crime so the only thing they could do was create “plausible deniability” that a crime was committed.

The jury saw the video frame by frame over and over and did not conclude a crime was committed so the 19 LE that stood by and only saw it once couldn’t conclude they were observing a crime being committed.

The LA riots weren’t “spontaneous”, they were planned by the Clintons to get the Bent One elected president.

That is why Bush had civil rights charges filed against the police.

It’s also why Clinton timed the raid at Waco to correspond with the second trial of the LA Police.
