this man we know as a victim has yet to change his life around!
I’m not trying to justify what the cops did was right but since this man was assault he was award 3mil and is still causing problems. After the riots King was awarded $3.8 million in a civil case, and used some of the money to start a hip hop music label, Straight Alta-Pazz Recording Company. He subsequently moved to Rialto, California. King also made a cameo on an episode of BET’s ComicView.
He was arrested again for spousal assault in 1999. In 2001, he was then ordered to undergo a year of drug treatment after pleading guilty to three counts of being under the influence of PCP and one of indecent exposure. On August 27, 2003, he was arrested again on similar charges as in 1991. It is alleged that King was speeding, ran a red light while under the influence of alcohol, failed to yield to police officers, and then slammed his SUV into a house, breaking his pelvis. Now he on VH1 doing a rehab show for money.
I’m just saying.. Don’t you think 55 deaths would make your change the way you live?? He could of been the 56th

That’s pretty tragic and just goes to show that money can’t buy you happiness or, apparently, sense.

i agree. if 55 people died because of me, i would definately change to make myself and everyone else proud! And with all the money he was awarded and made from publicity he should of easily changed his life, but some people are born losers and stay losers. he should be deeply ashamed.

Rodney King is an idiot. That beating he took was the best thing that ever happened to him, and he didn’t learn from it.
The show like you’re talking about pandersto the lowest elements of our society and thats why our country is getting sicker by the day.

He’s a waste of flesh.
And for the record i personally think the police should be able to beat the piss out of people who are completely out of their minds messed up and driving like idiots endangering the lives of innocent people. I mean, it’s not like the cops were beating on the wrong guy or anything. White, black, orange,
whatever… isn’t a shame that the assholes are out-breeding the good people?

You forgot to mention his record company went belly up almost instantly. The guy is a dumb @$$ plain and simple. He is not capable of the kind of self awareness and introspection required to make any true life changing decisions. His “get rich quick or die trying” mentality is all he knows.
