R.I.P. Rodney King

[DearSummer]

Rodney King was found dead at the bottom of his swimming pool on Sunday morning by his fiancé. No foul play is suspected.

R.I.P Mr. King. Never forget.

It's shockingly refreshing to see someone of your political leanings care about issues of race and inequality.

Maybe I had you all wrong.

[stuntman]

he is just posting it to stir it up.
I figured someone was going to.

when is this thing going to get closed due to the racial or mud slinging thing? Is there a pool going?

Maybe he posted it to remember Rodney King and pay respect to him?

RIP Rodney King.

And ITBL.

yeah. that is why he posted a vid link to the beating instead of another vid of him that discussed his remorse over the whole thing.

The LAPD, The FBI, and the CIA are all trying to prove that they are the best at apprehending criminals. The President decides to give them a test.

He releases a rabbit into a forest and each of them has to catch it.

The CIA goes in. They place animal informants throughout the forest. They question all plant and mineral witnesses. After three months of extensive investigations they conclude that rabbits do not exist.

The FBI goes in. After two weeks with no leads they burn the forest, killing everything in it, including the rabbit, and they make no apologies. The rabbit had it coming.

The LAPD goes in. They come out two hours later with a badly beaten bear. The bear is yelling: "Okay! Okay! I'm a rabbit! I'm a rabbit!

Would it seem insensitive to say that this post seems dumb? The events that involved him were clearly important to the history of the United States, but how is he an inspiration?

The guy was speeding, but didn't want to pull over since he was dunk and a DUI would violate the conditions of his parole for a previous crime. So a high speed chase ensued. When they finally cornered him, he was clearly the victim of police brutality, but lucky for him, it was caught on tape.

The details of his life are really sad and tragic, especially with this death added now. Everything in his life seemed to be framed within his alcohol addiction.

Yes, way to go Rodney the "inspiration": get drunk, smoke up, drive, speed, run from the police, resist arrest.

He is a victim (borderline) but he's not a hero.

its because everyone knows what sort of mentality the OP holds
this is just to troll

either way, the only reason this was huge is because it was caught on tape. as if people didnt know about police brutality and racism before.. haha..

[Blockwork]

Reported for racism.

lmao you must be joking

how is he inspirational?
did he inspire you to not get beat down by the cops? i dont get it..

[i6s1]

He was an inspiration to Chris Rock.

Rodney King was found to have 15 gun shot wounds when his body was recovered from the bottom of the pool.
The LAPD are investigating how King could have managed to get the gun to fire underwater

Yep, the "Can't we all get along?" statement is the way to remember Mr. King.



At least 50 people are already dead thanks to the clip the OP chose to use.
