I wonder if they cuffed him

“Although he was roughed up on the arrest, Rodney always impressed me as being a thug .”

“why can't he just get along with everyone?”

“Those damn houses keep popping up in front of his car when he's driving 100mph, that's why...”

“...But I don't picture him as a thug. To me, he just seems to be a major league screw-up...”

“lol, Bit”

“Driving 100 mph into a house....


thug, screw-up, dumb ass, just pick a term”

“True dat, Chil!

Hey man, did that Beale St. festival happen yet? If so, how was it and who did you see?”

“We all screw up...but we ain't all thugs...and according to roommate, I am a dumb ass (with no police record :))”

“First weekend in May, tb.

LOL @ cub.”

“Cool, Chili. Enjoy it and please let me know how it was. Sounds like a great time...”

“Thing is, if he sobers up for a couple of years, he could be President.”

CAN'T he inhaled!!



hhhhaaaaaaa”

“He has more combat scars than the present one...”

“Sorry, Bush fans. Couldn't resist...”

“Maybe we need to start a thread... "What's On Your Rap Sheet?"

HEY, we've already got the indentifying marks like tatoos and scars catalogued.”

“Preface, IMHO it is important to protect people's rights - including Rodney Kings - and it is important that people who beat on people like they did on Rodney King.

That said, when cops kick the #&%!$ out of someone it is very often under circumstances that might tempt you or I to kick the #&%!$ out of someone.”

“A friend from my teen years led cops on a mulit-jurisdictional chase. The cops did a Rodney on him, too. He spent some time in hospital (British lingo, heh) as a result.

Moral:
Dude! Don't EVER run from the cops - they HATE when that happens.”

“cant we all just...get off on the charges???”

“Rodney's been nabbed while on PCP...it was also suspected he was on that when they beat him down. I watched a guy on PCP going BALLISTIC on 6 cops in ATL...lil skinny white guy..and 3 of the cops were huge...and they had a time..i thought he was gonna rip his own arms out of socket to escape the cuffs. You have to beat down pple that are so hyped up they are like a rhino on steroids. I hope Rodney gets jail time and a good bit of it this time”

“I've dealt with people whacked on PCP before (I've worked in ER's and mental hospitals) and never had to beat them down.

One problem with the training most cops get is that they often aren't trained well in dealing with people that are really out of control. They are much better at dealing with straight out malicious, or well lubricated - they often aren't trained to deal with people who are well 'round the bend.”

“I have a buddy from high school who joined LAPD in the mid 90s. His first day on the job, he pulled over a pink suburban on some traffic violation and Rodney King was behind the wheel. My friend says that if anyone deserved that kind of beating, it would be Rodney. He came to that conclusion after interacting with the guy for five minutes.”

“THE PIGS OBVIOUSLY DIDNT BEAT HIM HARD/LONG ENOUGH”

“Maybe if the cops were issued NERF baseball bats, they could work out their frustrations without actually beating the crap out of those people. Nobody gets hurt; the city doesn't get sued (the taxpayers don't have to pay the criminals a plug nickel); no one is killed in the subsequent rioting, because there is none...

I never understood this reputation PCP has for contributing to violent behavior, either. Isn't it supposed to be a large animal tranquilizer? A CNS depressant?”

“a PINK suburban? he needs to be beat down just for that”
