......hate to say it, but I'm no fan of this guy at all.......
Nor his two fellow 'racial tension' stirring friends Al & Jessie. All three of these guys just try to keep racial tensions high, so that they can profit somehow someway from it all. They are nothing but cold blooded opprotunist! If they weren't, they would look for 'other topics' to debate-cry-& anger people about.....such as where our economy is currently headed, the poor and hungry, the number of homeless people we have due to acts of Mother Nature. But it always seems that anything they have their hands on puts races against each other..... whites against blacks, browns against blacks, and at times, even blacks against blacks! Is that how it should be? I don't think that was the master plan! What was it Rodney King said: ..." can't we all just get along"? Oh yea, where is Rodney now?
Rodney King made a big splash into the public consiousness in 1991 by being in the wrong place at the wrong time (and the wrong colour of skin) as he was brutally beaten by LA Police officers who were unwittingly being video taped the entire time.
Before it was over a sensational media fracas dragged on for months and climaxed in an apocalyptic race riot that enveloped south central LA for days, killing 55 and injuring thousands.
King was awarded 3.8 million in damages in a civil suit and in 1997 started a record label "called 'Straight Alta-Pazz".
In 1998 that label released an album "Stranded".
In 1999 he was convicted of spouse abuse, sentenced to 90 days in jail and 4 years probation.
In 2001 he was ordered to undergo a year of drug treatment after pleading guilty to 3 counts of being under the influence of PCP and indecent exposure.
In April 2003 he was suspected to be under the influence when he crashed an SUV into a house, breaking his pelvis.
October 2003: Rodney charged with punching his girlfriend.
If you’re not a news junkie you probably didn’t notice that Rodney King was arrested again. He was speeding at 100 miles an hour, high on PCP, when he ran a red light in Rialto, California on August 27. It is just a matter of luck that King hasn’t killed someone yet.
Rodney King is now broke.
How can you go broke on $3.8 million? Let’s say, for the sake of this example, King had to pay his lawyers a million dollars in legal fees. If he had put the remaining money in the bank in a long-term savings account it would have netted him a six-figure income for the rest of his life -- without requiring a stitch of work to get it.
'' either way, no man deserved to be beat like he was, no matter what race he is.
