I hope we don't have another riot like back in 1992 in Los Angeles.....

Don't bet on it. The TV sets they stole in 1992 are worn out and they will be wanting new ones.

"Violent" taped arrest? Come on, I've seen more violence at a bingo hall than on this video.

...riots like the ones that devastated the city after four white police officers were acquitted of state charges in the videotaped beating of black motorist Rodney King in 1992.

Morse was white and the teen, Donovan Jackson, is black.

Race was not mentioned in the trial, although Morse is white and Jackson is black. However, the videotape drew protests and comparisons to the 1991 videotaped beating of black motorist Rodney King by four white Los Angeles police officers.

Sheesh, let's not try to incite a race war or anything...!

Morse was white and the teen, Donovan Jackson, is black.

What's his skin color now?

[Steely Glint]

Hurray for the LAPD!

You can bet there won't be a single Republican rioting.

My bet it that the verdict and it's possible aftermath are going to be positive.

Our society has learned that coddling rioters is risky business. LA's new chief is no nonsense and has already done an endaround on the bleeding hearts at the state level.

Expect that the chief will ask for federal assistance, not state assistance, if racists stir up the ghetto. Expect "full contact" responses to the obligatory "race riot" that the social underbelly of LA can so quickly produce.

Buy they sure hate not getting their lynching in Cali don't they.

Fox said he had gotten a severe beating. It appeared that he got one punch to the face after (supposedly) grabbing the officers 'nads.

Did I miss something?
