it is also kind of scary what the jurors said about the judgement there
were things like:
rodney king appeared to be in control of the situation the whole time
the use of force was justified because king wasn't writhing in pain, he
was trying to get away
from what i heard of the trial, the defense attorney seemd to be playing
on white middle class stereotypes of the big aggressive black man high on
pcp. i find that despicable.
