If that were true you'd expect a huge transformation in attitude post Rodney King. Didn't happen, it's gotten worse.
Excellent point. But in this case, I don’t think they had any idea the news chopper just arrived. As the copper news babe announced to the station just seconds before beat down. When the big lens zoomed in, even the female on chopper’s audio to the station goes silent and seem to lack a commentary. Or was turned off or was just edited out.
Last thing she said was, “Suspect just tased” then total silence when the assault began.
