Rodney King passed away Sunday

The attempt by CHP officers to stop a speeding Rodney King late one night in March 1991 developed into one of the most infamous series of events in American history.  By the time the second trial was over, policing, race-relations and police-community relations had changed dramatically.  Los Angeles suffered its worst riots ever when the officers tried in state court for beating King were acquitted.  A good book on the entire sequence of events is Lou Cannon's Official Negligence.  In retrospect, much of what happened seems to be the result of some incredibly bad and unjust decisions.  This expose' will blow your mind!
