Yes, and I couldn’t give a sh*t.

The animal was on Angel Dust when the cops beat the sh*t of him. Watch the video, he was lunging at them.

This guy was not just on alcohol but drugs also. The main reason that he got beaten by those cops was that at the time he was hopped up on PCP which can give one, somehow, enhanced strength.
Someone on PCP can be damn hard to bring down and control.
Rodney King was a pathetic individual but the tinder box that was and is LA was looking for an excuse to go off and he happened to be it.
What I don't see here mentioned is what happened to the cops that were found not guilty at the state level but were pursued by a Tyrannical Government and convicted of violating his so called Civil Rights. Call what you want be I believe that was and is a form of Double Jeopardy.

“Can we all get along?” = Can you lousy conservatives be more tolerant of those of us who choose to use PCP and drive drunk, and put up with blacks throwing bricks at white people?

Seems like he was not on PCP the cops just thought he was, nothing was on the tox screen but booze and weed.

Rodney was a first class screw up, always seemed to be one step from disaster, but I liked him, and his remark about getting along has stuck with me. Why can’t we???
