Very poorly written article. There are no details regarding his death. May he rest in peace.

@Jon:
Whatever he got fr the Lapd, which is one of the most racist police forces n the country, he deserved it, & Ive heard that he was an excellent swimmer. Perhaps he was helped to the bottom of the pool. He has been a hated figure by the corrupt criminal INjustice system & racist whites ever since his brutal taped beating exposed the rampant police brutality that is commonplace n this country against blks. U ppl have a sordid history towards ppl of color & I would put absolutely no dirty deed past u.

Oh plz! An unarmed Sean Bell was shot over 50 times by rogue cops while exiting his bachelor party on the morning he was to be married. Oscar Grant was shot point blank by a rogue cop while lying face down on the ground w. his hands cuffed behind his back & another cop restraining him. An unarmed Orlando Bartow was surrendering on his knees in front of 4 Las Vegas rogue cops in 2003 & was still shot & killed. In 2005 Aaron Campbell was shot n the back by rogue cops while walking backwards towards them w. his hands behind his head. The lists go on & on & on. N most instances cops have rcvd little or no time for these murders. There is no fool like a so called educated fool! U should get ur money back for those insignificant ltrs behind ur name! Spare me that Bill Cosbyesque bullsh*t about how if only we would act right they would stop murdering us n cold blood, which by the way has not ceased since we were drug here during The Middle Passage! I guess that had we not resisted then also they would not have raped, castrated, tortured, maimed, dismembered & sold us off like cattle. U r a fool who obviously doesn’t know a d*mn thing about history. There has been no greater crime against humanity than those crimes visited upon African Americans by whites n this country. So don’t tell me nothin about bigotry & racism cuz whites wrote the book!

Its a murder cover up! His fiance reported hearing him @ 5am banging on the window outside while naked, then she heard a splash. Also, I have heard by those who knew Mr. King that he was an expert swimmer, so now we r supposed to believe that he drowned n his own pool? What a coincidence that he shows up recently n the media & a wk later he is found dead. This corrupt system is intent on making blks pay who have the audacity to challenge racism & injustice. I am sure that he had a bullseye on his back fr the time that incident occurred 20 yrs ago. No doubt the cont’d drinking was a result of what he had to endure after the immense physical & emotional trauma & pain that he had to deal w. for the rest of his life.

@KKKerri:
You know, the whole world saw that tape & I have hardly ever seen anything so vicious & inhumane n my life. Whites for yrs have denied that this kind of behaviour occurs against minorities, & even when its caught on tape they still n their hatefulness endorse it & justify it, even blaming the victims. But I guess I shouldn’t expect any more fr the descendants of ole massa. Many whites don’t see blks as human anyway. U r the same ppl w. the same mindset of ur ancestors who subjected blks to 300 yrs of brutal horrific chattel slavery & another 100 yrs of Jim Crow segregation. The leopard never changes it spots does it KKKerri? These kind of blatant horrific vicious acts of aggression by rogue cops only ever happen to blks. There r countless instances of UNARMED defenseless blks being outright murdered by ARMED police every day. I wish that we could say GOOD RIDDANCE to u & ur kind! Ur race has done nothing but wreak havoc, pain & destruction on every other ppl on the planet since ur sordid existence. RIP Rodney King!

I cannot believe the ridiculousness and ignorance that comes out of peoples mouths. How can that man be responsible for peoples outrage at the obvious misuse and abuse of power by police. Please tell me what ONE UNARMED, CUFFED man can do that would require MULTIPLE armed, trained police officers to beat him in such a manner! I don’t understand people destroying their own community, but I also don’t understand you saying it’s his fault. You need to pick up a book or too and read about the history of Black people. Perhaps black people were angry because anyone else could come to America and come into “our” communities and be allowed to own businesses and prosper more than we are! Have you read about the black communities that white people burned down simply because they existed! http://www.rosenwaldharlanites.org/Latest/BLACK-WALLSTREET-TULSA-OKLAHOMA-1921.html . Sometimes the more educated people are, the more stupid they are!
