I completely get you, do you think if some cops beat you down, you would get a pool?
Heck No.
What about the Marine who got the tear gas canister to his head, first is he ok, and where is his pool?
I felt Rodney profited too much off an incident that happens regularly.
Everyone who leads the police on a high speed chase while being drunk

What about that poor Kelly Thomas who was brutally murdered not too long ago?

Why would he be a target though? After the riots died down, no one had heard of him since that I'm aware of. He became a household name after the tape, but after the riots unless you were talking about the tape or the riots, you never mentioned his name. At least no one I know ever did.

Thanks for sharing that video,I've never seen that one.I was 14 when that happened,it was crazy.And you are absolutely correct,he was beaten because he was white.I fear the same is going to happen if George Zimmerman is found not guilty.It will not surprise me if it does.But that's for another thread.
As for King,who cares?He's a nobody as many in this thread have pointed out.It's a shame when anybody dies,but really,it doesn't have to be reported on.

Everyone who leads the police on a high speed chase while being drunk deserves all of his bones to be broken with batons, and not a freaking pool and any sort of fame. I'm sorry I wasn't there to help the cops. Freedom? My ass. Stupidity that was not punished? Sure.
Rodney, rot in hell.
