Rodney King Dead at 47: Icon or Agitator?

He wasn't perfect and who is? He was speeding and wouldn't stop for the police and the punishment is an immediate near to death beating by the police? In America? But, they were better than the ones who beat Reginald Denny. That's what happens when a people are pushed too far. They attack everything. Whites ought to know, look at all of the race riots that has happened here. Isn't that what they do? I suppose if George Holliday didn't film the beating the police would have reported that they had beaten King. Made sure he made it to the hospital, received health care and drug treatment. After all, how many times have we seen this happen to white kids. They would get the same treatment that character did in the movie "Higher Learning." Think I'm lying? How many times have we heard of whites drawing guns in the presence of the police and not getting shot? Was Reginald King the agitator? He started it! Maybe he was scared to stop! No one's ever been beaten for asking the police what did I do? And then after they beat you, they charge you with assault! Those 4 cops who tried to beat and stun gun him to death were the agitators, High unemployment and police harassment was the agitator. There were constant complaints about no jobs and police harassment. Yes there was crime but even innocent, hard working citizens were harassed. They are harassed by the criminals and the police. They had no help. That Korean grocer, Soon Ja Du who blew that 15 year old girl named Latasha Harlins' brains out after accusing her of stealing a bottle of orange juice was the agitator. Accused her of stealing and she hadn't even left the store. Blew out her brain over a bottle of orange juice! What was his sentence? Suspended and community service. Some of us were disgusted about the whole thing. Even Rodney King cried out "Can't we all get along.

As an American citizen, Rodney King deserved to have his day in court where he could be accused and no doubt, convicted of reckless driving, etc. I don't think any reasonable jury would have acquitted him. You insist that he did the wrong thing, although you never wrote what that was and that the correct action of the police is the beating that he received. Funny, though, as a result of this beating, police departments have installed cameras in their squad cars and a number of officers have been caught, on tape, of using excessive force as well as helping with backing the arresting office who charged the criminal with resisting arrest and assault of a police officer, etc.. As a result I've concluded closinyou, that your opinion that my "keep the race fires burning but when you get burned (this sounds like you are threatening me because you've determined that I will "get burned". You are threatening me you know. Do not judge lest ye shall be judged) on this subject is typical of the white supremacist and that I should feel threatened by you. Especially considering the fact that your handle is "closinyou" and not your name. The average white supremacist doesn't like to be challenged on issues of racism white supremacy and therefore, contends that if a person of color makes a complaint of racist treatment, they, themselves are the racist. To use your logic, all of the victims of home invasions, car jackings and assault with a deadly weapon, are according to you, the home invader, the car jacker and the assaulter. I don't care to dialog with white supremacists, especially one as unrepentant as you are who insists that the police in the Rodney King beating had no other recourse but to continue to beat him and at no time should simply subdue him, handcuff him, arrest him and read him his rights. You are closinyou, incapable of respecting the view of someone who only insists that justice be served.

It figures.... Typical hard headed youngster talking about something and they don't know what they're talking about. You're learn one day....A hard head makes a soft ass.

Last week, a Fox News station in Baltimore, Maryland, received a surveillance video showing a Prince County, Maryland, cop beating a teenager in the head with a gun.

Ryan Dorm had not committed a crime, but despite this the cops considered him and a friend suspicious. The two men were wearing ski masks while buying food at a gas station on Perry Street in Brentwood, Maryland. Dorm later said he was wearing a ski mask because it was cold.

Corporal Donald Taylor said Dorm had assaulted him and his gun went off as he struggled with Dorm. The surveillance video, released after Dorm had spent months in prison, reveals what has now become routine – the cop lied and an innocent man spent time in prison.

Taylor was indicted after the video was made public. He faces misconduct, reckless endangerment and second-degree assault charges. Dorm’s lawyer, Jimmy Bell, has filed a $10 million dollar civil lawsuit in the case.

Unfortunately, Maryland tax payers will end up paying for the psychopathic behavior of Donald Taylor. He should have never been hired as a policeman. Police need to be rigorously tested for signs of psychopathy and sadism.

Cops who assault citizens without reason should be immediately fired and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Prosecuting and incarcerating violent cops will help make sure other cops know such unacceptable behavior will go punished. Infowars

FACTS & FIGURES

An increasing number of incidents where U.S. police forces use excessive force against American citizens is causing anti-police sentiment across the nation.

Arkansas police report concluded that Carter who was searched twice by officers before being handcuffed behind his back shot himself in the head in the back of the squad car.
