I guess when I say I am disturbed by it, I don't mean the particular case, or the particular "victim" Rodney King, but more the issue itself. There was a time when my immediate reaction to anything of that nature was a knee-jerk "He had it coming." Rodney King may indeed have had it coming, and those officers may have been innocent of wrong doing (I do think their double jeopardy rights were clearly violated). But after so many instances of out-of-control local and federal law enforcement, my initial reation is to be disturbed by it.
I don't know all the statistics on it, but I am frustrated because I don't believe over-zealous law enforcement and/or brutality is strictly a black issue. I wish a conservative/libertarian official would take a good hard look at the issue and try to resolve it. If they could really do something about it, they would have a chance to really make a positive impact in the black community (something the Republicans claim they want to do), take an issue away from the Al Sharptons of the world, and strike a blow for individual rights. It would seem to be an issue tailor made for a libertarian-oriented Republican, but no one will touch it.
Hear, hear! My opinion is very similar.
