My recollection was that there was a female officer being confronted by him at the beginning, and had her gun drawn to take action, but then men arrived and took him down.

He is lucky to be alive. If he had charged her, he would have been one more statistic, the Left would trot out every time the topic of police abuse of power was brought up.

As it is, he became to poster boy for the “evil police” meme. It’s still a falsehood accepted to this day.

He never submitted, still trying to stand up for minutes after being initially taken down.

Put the arms behind the back and submit! No, he kept trying to use his hands and knees to get up on fours in order to stand up.

As others said, his other rider(s), was arrested without incident.

That’s something the evil police officer meme was never able to explain. If the officers were so evil, why didn’t they rough up the other occupant of the car?

You don’t get to be police commissioner or acting police commissioner in a big city without being a political animal. I am sure she has given as much as she is getting over the years. Really dont feel sorry for her.

Wasn’t Rodney like 6’8” and about 280 pounds back then? All hopped up on angel dust it would have taken a couple of double ought twelve gauge rounds to render him harmless. It probably would have been cheaper in the long run.

The coverage by the television media included doctoring the video. This showed the striking police batons speeded up and repeated a number of times. More than actually used. The video was shown again and again. The guilt and culpability of the press eventually helped cause terrible riots. No conscience, no integrity.
