I was listening to a recent Real Time with Bill Maher episode where he had Arsenio Hall on to discuss Rodney King. Arsenio said the hardest thing is that when they did a 20th anniversary special on CNN, Arsenio's son asked his father why nobody was held accountable for the beatings and now, 20 years later, Arsenio said he STILL had no explanation for his son. And with no explanation, there is no assurance that white cops wouldn't get away with the same thing today.
Arsenio went on to say that one of the people he most feels sorry for was Reginald Denny. He was a good, innocent man that was attacked by a mob lit with rage. He was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
