This statement is inacurate and coinjecture. I have the advantage of knowing
what you don't know. I have the advantage of watching the 70 seconds of video
tape that wasn't released to the public. I also know that whatever force is
reasonable to effect the arrest is lawful. The fact of the matter is that the
force used was considered reasonable for the resistance used ( which you
didn't see in the beginning of the tape) to effect the arrest. Rodney King
controlled the level of force he received. It's not always right and not all
cops are good but in this case justice is served. I would hasten to say that
one shouldn't judge a man unless he's walked a mile in that man's shoes. I
will not type another word on this subject, these are the facts!
FWIW,
Kenny
