I recall in the Rodney King case that the Simi Valley jury cleared the Los Angeles police officers; then it was the Justice Department that brought "civil rights" violations against the officers. They served long prison terms while Rodney King won a multi-million dollar judgment against the people of Los Angeles. King continued to have scraps with the law. When arrested again and again, he would say, "Can't we all just get along?"

rodney king should have got beat. he was supposed to lay down on the ground and not move, but he kept trying to get up. the officers were beating him to make him stay down. i would've beat his ass too.
hudspeth shouldn't have took a hostile stance. if i was a cop i would've shot him too. cops have to make quick life and death decisions all the time. that case is a matter of civility, and i don't feel race has anything to do with it.
