Rodney king all over again.(Except al sharpton less)
Except this guy didn't drive over 100mph evading the police and resist arrest afterward even after being tasered and tackled. The police believed King was under the influence of PCP because he was able to throw them off himself. There was a 13-second segment of the video tape that was edited out by television news stations in their broadcasts. It shows Rodney King getting up off the ground and charging at one of the police officers, Ofc. Laurence Powell.
Imo King deserved everything he got. Why?
He was arrested again on charges of spousal assault in 1999. In 2001 he was ordered to undergo a year of drug treatment after pleading guilty to 3 counts of being under the influence of PCP and indecent exposure. On August 27, 2003 he was arrested again on similar charges as his 1991 arrest. King was said to be speeding as he ran a red light while under the influence of PCP, and failed to yield to police officers.
