The cops in the 1991 should have gone to jail. I never agreed with the decision in that case.

But... seems Rodney has been living on borrowed time since then. He really is the gift that keeps on giving. I wonder if they could do a reality TV show where camera crews followed him around all day?

That man is a waste of protoplasm... figures a damn crack head makes out like a bandit after his actions caused 55 deaths and $1 billion in property damage...

$ .03 = Cost of a .22 calibre bullet

You determine the placement...

actually it was the rioters who caused the damage.

or you could blame it on the actions of the cops and courts if you are looking to blame someone else for the rioters actions.

or you could even blame the media for making the issue out to be a race issue instead of a class issue. if rodney had been a rich lawyer or athlete (whatever) in a nice suit and a benz he would not likely have been treated the way he was. had he been a white guy from a simular background as rodney it could have played out much the same, only you wouldn't have activists looking to help with his legal fee's.

dumb-ass rodney is a ways down the list on who takes blame for the rioters damage.

it's obviose the man is a perpetual looser who is going to screw his life up no matter what happens. but the cops where the true criminals in his 'big case'.

If you blame Rodney for the looting in the US, who do you blame for the looting in Iraq?

I wouldn't consider myself a liberal and I agree with him. Rodney was a dip**** drunk driver... the cops are the ones that turned into violent criminals.

Just my opinion, but he got what he deserved.

People are always screaming about the police. Sometimes it's justified, usually it's not.

If the cops tell you to stop, kneel down, put your hands up, or any combination of the previous, and you fail to do so, they should just shoot you.

Cops get no respect.

They'd get a whole lot more respect if that situation had been handled differently. It set the image of police officers back to the point that they still haven't recovered.

Rodney was an ass, as are most ****faced people. Cops should be adept at handling that. If they have to get rough, then so be it. But, somewhere during that 5 minute beating, I believe they crossed the line. Their behavior was inexcusable.

I aggree that blaming the guy that got tuned on is pretty much the hight of sillyness. Interesting that he has some more pcp convictions since then.
Was there a riot when he beat up his girl friend..
