Worst possible attempt at the english language I have seen yet. You might want to try using a translator program to translate things from your native language into english.

Daddy, does that mean they are going to close all their restaurants?

"Honey, the restaurants are owned by Burger King, not Rodney King"

Okay Daddy!

Can we go out to eat at Pizza Hut tonight?

"Why fucking not? We eat there several times a week as it is..."

If the beating had not been recorded, there never would have been a riot.

He was bright enough to listen to a wily lawyer, who had the skills to fight his case in court, the riots were in response to the perceived injustice, but like all riots spiralled in to a frenzy of robbery when people realised they out numbered the the police. Today with the surveillance available to the police the thieves would be getting six o'Clock wake ups like the idiots who rioted across England did.

You misinterpreted what I wrote. I have no sympathy with Rodney King at all, and none for the rioters.

------

After being tested five hours after the incident, King's blood-alcohol level was found to be just under the legal limit. This meant that his blood alcohol level was approximately 0.19—almost two and a half times the legal limit in California—when he was driving.[9] At 12:30 am, Officers Tim and Melanie Singer, a husband-and-wife duo of the California Highway Patrol, spotted King's car speeding. The officers then pursued King at high speeds.[10][11] According to King's own statements, he refused to pull the car over because he thought a driving under the influence test would violate his parole for a previous robbery conviction.[12]

King exited the freeway, and the chase continued through residential streets at speeds allegedly ranging from 55 to 80 mph.

All that may be true and probably is and the guy deserved to be arrested and his parole revoked, but do you think it is normal to try to beat a guy unconscious before cuffing him, as someone who claims to have been beaten near to death just for the cash in your pockets do you think it is right for the custodians of the law to break the law?

Where do you get the idea that he is a leader of the blacks, he in no way represents the majority of the fine upstanding black members of your country, and if you thin he does then you are really beyond all help and need to crawl into the DL's kennel.

He has done for the black community the same that Sharpton & Jackson have done, brought them misery at the expense of the tv camera.

Rodney King was behaving in a way that may have caused an automobile accident that killed people. His behavior, and the behavior of the rioters was far worse than the behavior of the police. At the time Rodney King was resisting arrest. On a number of occasions police officers have stopped and frisked me after dark, and examined the contents of packages I was carrying. When this happens I behave respectfully, and move slowly, so that they do not think I am reaching for a weapon.

Where do you get the idea he's not? Do YOU speak for the black community in the US now?

Aren't you some 50 something white British national living in the UK?

Oh do tell us of your vast knowledge regarding black culture in the United States.

[RandyKnight]

After the Police pulled the body from the Pool and unwrapped the tractor chains that were around him the Forensic Expert with thorough examination announced he Mr King had died of natural causes.

Being from the south...makes sense to me...

May have caused a RTA, would that be before the beating or after it, if the police had simply arrested him then the riots would not have occurred, now justify why the police officers on the scene were videoed beating him like a mule, they had the man subdued and still beat him, justify that. Also answer the other question I raised about how you with your personal knowledge of being beaten near to death for the few dollars in your pocket can justify this action, do you think it is wrong to beat and rob but fine to beat for fun?

Well you are the one shouting loud that he is, and no I have no voice for people in your country be they of any ethnic background. Yes I am 51 I am an Englishman living in the UK.

I have no vast knowledge of any of your citizens, apart from what I can find on the vast world wide web of knowledge, and it seems my knowledge of the US outstrips your knowledge of the UK.

Any more questions?

[NoOneFamous]

First off the cops used excessive force, they had no reason or need to continue to beat the crap out of him once he was restrained.

Second, my guess is he was using drugs and died from his own stupidity.

[richief]

A little post edit function addendum.

I do notice that some of the above scream out loud about nazi cops when the victim of their abuse is white, but go the other way if he is black. Fucking odd that.

If the police were more vigilant in dealing with ghetto thugs like Rodney King America would be a safer place for decent people.

So what we have here folks is DL refusing to answer the question, but trying to obfuscate the issue with throwing in a meaningless statement. The issue is not about the vigilance of the police, enough of them had noticed King and were in high speed pursuit so I guess the officers are vigilant in some case.

Now answer the question I asked or openly refuse to, if it brings up bad memories I will understand if you wish to give it a miss, but will take that as an indicator that you may consider the actions taken by the police to be excessive.

Do I have to say it Richief? I do not like people like Rodney King. I want the police to be constantly in their faces, intimidating them, humiliating them, and beating them up when they get out of line.

In New York City the police have a vigorous policy of stopping and frisking young black men. Blacks complain. So do a few white liberals who have not been mugged or robbed by blacks yet. Most New Yorkers like it. They like it a lot, richief. During the 1970s New York was called "the mugging capital of the United States." Now of big cities new York has one of the lowest crime rates in the United States. Punishment works. So does race profiling.

So you are all in favour of the custodians of the law beating black people with-out given cause, and you are one of the people who says they are given enough chances in life. Remember these are the people paid by you to uphold the law, and generally if they are willing to break one law they will possibly break other laws, such as taking bribes from pimps, drug dealers, OC, all the people who make your life a misery by turning your neighbourhoods into ghettos


You are racist and bigoted and your dream of moving to Europe will not live up to your expectations, so don't bother making enquiries at the relevant consuls.

I am in favor of the police protecting people like me from people like Rodney King.

Also, I am not in favor of the police beating up young black men unless those young black men ask for it. I am in favor of them stopping and frisking young black men because that is a proactive way of preventing crime that has worked in New York City.

There's no data to support that DL. All you really suggest is that gentrification works given the rapid decline in crime in most urban areas.

[origen01]

I'm really shocked by your ignorance, DL. I find it hard to believe you had ZERO sympathy for Rodney King at all. Have you seen the footage of the beating? It is truly horrendous and unwarranted.

Hell, we don't even treat convicted terrorists that way...

Rodney King was speeding over one hundred miles an hour in a residential neighborhood. By identifying the number on his license plate the police knew he was an ex con on parole, and a rather large one at that. By the time they stopped him their adrenalin was up. He did resist. If he had gotten out of his car with his hands up, which is what I do when the police stop and frisk me, he would not have been beaten.

So you think it is okay then for young men or an Arabic look to be stopped and searched, even though they could be Israelis, and for young white guys walking through a known drug dealing area, and for people of all ages curb crawling through known hooker zones, pretty soon the majority of your population will be being stopped and searched by the remainder. And you also condone the criminal act perpetrated by the young men dressed in blue, should they also be stopped and checked that their "adrenalin" levels are not to high because that seems to be the excuse you give them, maybe all the young blacks that have mugged you have been high on adrenalin and so they have a ready made excuse. Or you could just be a racist hiding behind a pretty pink bow and a few non threatening black people that you can loosely call colleagues.

He was speeding,he had not caused a RTA they stopped a known felon and decided that their best cause of action was to beat him beyond any reasonable force and then continued for fun, your excuse of high on adrenalin is a pathetic excuse, they are professionals who should be held to a higher standard than the average man on the Clapham omnibus. But you continue with your crusade to excuse them it just highlights your racism and bigotry for all of our newer members.

For gentrification to happen the crime rate needs to go down first. Affluent professionals will not move into an area if it is dangerous.

[Distant Lover]

Adequate law enforcement requires a proactive policy by the police to stop crimes before they happen. I do not mind being stopped and frisked by the police. It means they are doing their job. I am not doing anything wrong. Therefore I have nothing to fear.

Adequate law enforcement also requires a willingness to put large numbers of criminals in prison, and to keep them there for long sentences. I have documented many times that as the prison population in the United States has increased, the crime rate has decreased.

I cannot document the effect of harsh punishment. Nevertheless, it makes intuitive sense to me that it too reduces crime by serving as a deterrent.

During the 1960s we in the United States tried to reduce the crime rate through social reform and social welfare spending. The crime rate doubled.

I was mugged once in NYC - by a bald white guy.

I'd love him to move to the UK then see the shock on his face if he ventures out on a weekend evening in the average British small town at chucking out time. At least his previous beating was motivated by something he comprehends. Wonder how he'd cope with a leathering from a pissed white drunk for no other reason than he was there.

PS I'd suggest he shove his Bell Curve up his arse but I suspect he'd enjoy it.

In the United States the murder rate per 100,000 inhabitants is 5.0.

In the United Kingdom the murder rate per 100,000 inhabitants is 1.17.

In the United States the population is 12.6% black, and 9.1% Hispanic.

In the United Kingdom the population is 1.17 black. There are hardly any Hispanics.

The international state with the highest crime rate per capita id the Vatican city, those figures do not include any child abuse. Stats are fun.

Oh I would love to see DL on Union Street in Plymouth, with a ship in, the rucks in the pubs are phenomenal, Army, Navy and Marines all battling for fun. Or maybe he could go for a pint in Aldershot, the Pegasus it a good pub to visit, but we would not mug him just beat the fuck out of him for being in front of kebab queue.

[Capnip-Everdeen]

I watched some of his interviews on tv over the past few months, and I felt bad for him. He seemed like he was nervous and/or on drugs.
