"Rodney King autopsy results are weeks off; Central figure in LA riots had battled addiction" by Anthony McCartney | Associated Press, June 19, 2012
RIALTO, Calif. - Rodney King, 47, became famous after he was severely beaten by Los Angeles
police in 1991. It was captured on videotape and broadcast worldwide, as
were photos of King’s bloodied and bruised face.
A preview of things to come regarding the Internet.
The more than 50 baton blows and kicks inflicted by officers left King with 11 skull fractures, a broken eye socket, and facial nerve damage.
Yeah, maybe the cops were jacked up and King did put people at risk, but the cops of all people need to follow the law.
The trial of four officers charged with felony assault in connection with the case ended after a jury with no black members acquitted three of the officers on state charges in the beating; a mistrial was declared for a fourth.
It happens all the time in AmeriKa, and color has nothing to do with it. Anytime police are investigated or brought up on charges they are usually acquitted.

The verdict sparked one of the most costly and deadly race riots in the nation’s history....
King was 25 years old and on parole for a robbery conviction when he led police on the high-speed chase that ended with the police beating. The violence was captured on videotape by a resident, who turned it over to a television station. It was played over and over for a year, inflaming racial tensions across the country....
Looking back now and realizing how the AmeriKan media operate you can see that was the intention, even then. Divide and distract us all so the elite are free to work their will unimpeded.
Rialto police were investigating King’s death as an apparent drowning and said they have found no signs of foul play. King’s fiancee spoke with police for several hours Sunday and is considered a witness in the case, Rialto Police Officer David Shepherd said Monday....
