What happened to Rodney king defined a generation of race relations in the USA. It isn't a matter of a couple of cops roughing a guy up - it is a matter of excessive, race related police brutality and a sham investigation and prosecution afterwards. |
I don't believe it was racially motivated. Did the cops go too far? Yes. But you can't prove it was racially motivated. King provided all the motivation the cops needed to break their batons over his skull when he was racing thru residential LA neighborhoods high, drunk, and belligerent. Oh and he was a well known drug dealer.
