Rodney King's Been Shot!

31. "King was awarded $3.8 million in a civil case. He was arrested for spousal assault in 1999. In 2001, he was then ordered to undergo a year of drug treatment after pleading guilty to three counts of being under the influence of phencyclidine and [one] of indecent exposure"

Who the hell gets 3.8 million and then moves to Rialto? I'm just sayin'?

36. What did King do with that $3million ?? Did he straighten out his life...no.. Did he help others in his "hood" ?...no... What did Mr. King do with all his money??? Well.... he bought alot of beer...L.A. taxpayers drink up, this one might be hard to swallow. If I lived in L.A. I'd be pissed. Rodney King is his own enabler, he's proven that.... loser

37.
Did we forget they were re-tried for violating his civil rights and sentenced to jail.






n 1991, he was beaten by police in Los Angeles. Massive riots took place after the four policemen charged with beating him were acquitted.

42. Here we go again trying to defend this man, the fact of the matter is he was on PCP during the police shooting.

But we are not an analytical race, who could take a beating like that with a baton, they gave him orders he refused to obey them. Ever been grabbed by someone on PCP, they would have had to shoot him.

THen we go on to destroy our neighborhoods for this man, guess how he has repaid us? By having a RAP SHEET as long as his arm AFTER THE RIOTS.

And as you can see he's still SURROUNDED BY NEGATIVITY.

We need to stop standing behind and DEFENDING NEGATIVITY.

At least speak for yourself. I like to act like I have some class and standards. Don't act like this is some BLACK UNITY THING. PLEEEZ

43.
C'mon. In '92 if he had cooperated with the police and stayed on the ground he would have been fine. He brought it on himself. What did he do to get shot this time?
