call rodney king exactly what he contines to be to this day: A FELON. at the time of the incident in the LAPD Foothill Division, he was a convicted liquor store robber. he's been arrested half a dozen times since. face it; king's a born loser. he's a cancer in society's midst. look at it this way: none of the LAPD FOUR who went on trial at the state and federal levels for beating king, had been in trouble before the incident, and they haven't been in trouble since. can you say the same about king?

c'mon man!! you're smarter than that. and frankly, chief bill parker was a great man. so is bernard parks. but parks lost the support of his troops whereas parker did not. had tom bradley not been such a cop-hating racist constantly riling up the blacks in L.A., chief gates would have been in a much better position to aggressively deploy his officers without fear of retribution from every crybaby who finagled their way in front of a television camera.

you know, it's really easy to stay out of trouble with the police. there's nothing hard about it at all. some people are simply hellbent on committing crime and they refuse to live their lives any other way.
