Rodney King Arrested In Pasadena, Calif.
(CBS) LOS ANGELES Rodney King, whose videotaped beating by LAPD officers sparked the 1992 Los Angeles riots, was arrested in Pasadena, Calif.
King, 41, was allegedly involved in a disturbance at a Pasadena clothing store on Tuesday at 6 p.m.
Police officers were called to the scene and found two outstanding misdemeanor warrants for King. According to the Pasadena Star-News, King was arrested without incident. He was released after appearing in court on Wednesday morning.
King was born in Sacramento and became a symbol of police brutality when amateur photographer George Holliday videotaped four LAPD officers using batons to beat him after a car chase on March 3, 1991.
On April 29, 1992, a Simi Valley jury acquitted the officers of state charges that alleged excessive use of force, which sparked four days of riots in Los Angeles that left 55 dead, 2,383 injured and cost $1 billion in property damage.
Two of the officers were convicted in 1993 on federal charges of violating King's civil rights and served 30 months in prison.

At first I thought that King was dumber than he appeared for staying in the LA area after "the incident." On the other hand if he carried on the way he has since then in any other city he probably would be in jail or buried by now. Maybe he is smarter than he appears.

"King was arrested without incident." At least Rodney learned something from his experience.

His 15 minutes were up 10 years ago.

I'm sure the ACLU is tailoring one right now. He has a history of getting into alterations.

Can someone please explain to me how it came to be in America that anyone, let alone this lowlife mutant, can be arrested with two outstanding bench warrants against him and he is RELEASED the next day???? The gas chamber sounds like a better alternative!
