Uh oh, here come the riots. Poor fellow was just driving home when the racist cops arrested him for driving while black. He was only drinking soda pop.

I don’t think it was the arrest that caused all the problems, it was the four cops assaulting and beating him to a bloody pulp that upset everyone...

That happens when you resist arrest.

You do know that the feds ended up trying all the cops involved after the riots and two of them were sentenced to 30 months in federal prison for this crime? Officer Laurence Powell and Sergeant Stacey Koon were both sentenced to 30 months in prison...

I did not know that the 4 cops were tried in Federal court.
That sounds like double jeopardy to me, but what do I know about the mysteries of the legal system?

Did you watch the WHOLE tape?Yes, I have, and NOTHING justifies the continued beating of him once he was on the ground and surrounded by 4 cops, with more on the way...

Clearly he didn’t watch it. His answer reveals the truth.

Four cops? Did you watch the tape? Fess up.

It does seem like double jeopary, but it’s common apparently. For either jurisdiction, Federal or State, all charges related to a single incident have to be tried together. But the Feds and State can essentially try you separately for the same incident. This was first tried during the civil rights era, where local prosecutors failed to convict people who attacked civil rights workers, the Feds who get them on Federal charges. If you kill a postal worker, you cannot be tried in both Federal court and State court for the same act, murder, but if you are not convicted in State court, the Feds can come after you for interferring with the post, for instance.
It does seem like double jeopardy.

Rodney King with the exception of a mutual fund and modest home has blown all his money and is now broke.

Wow, King is only 46! He’s had a heckuva career so far and his brightest days are still ahead!

Rodney King with the exception of a mutual fund and modest home has blown all his money and is now broke. In Atlas Shrugged one of the characters says "no man may be smaller than his money."
