    Their defense was they were trying to swat a nasty wasp that was hovering over Rodney. Rodney being allergic to wasp/bee stings the judge summised that they saved his life

    ,,or as one of the bullshit stories i've heard over the years

    King was no angel.. but that beating was almost as disgraceful as the results of the court!

    Out of his face on angel dust and chivas regal at the time of the incident, appartently. High speed chase through a residential neighbourhood. His companions in the car all got out and accepted their arrest without a word of protest...

    Think two of the cops were civilly prosecuted successfully (Eazy E of NWA famously advocated for the two them at the trial)

    As Ed Nortons character Derek Vinyard pointed out in "American History X" if he had mowed down a little child would people be gettin so upset???

    I'm just sayin very little is black and white...
    Bada Bing!!!

    You have to feel sorry for the guy. He was kind of messed up before. Then he got a severe beating, got a lot of money in the settlement, and then lost all of it. A sad story from beginning to end.

    “I wish you wouldn’t keep appearing and vanishing so suddenly; you make one quite giddy!”
    “All right,” said the Cat; and this time it vanished quite slowly, beginning with the end of the tail, and ending with the grin, which remained some time after the rest of it had gone.
