Rodney King drowns in backyard pool

[DivusIulius]

Sorry, and, as usual I find his death suspicious and I'm not falling for the official story. I believe possible motive for murder exists...his wife was on the jury that awarded him the big moo-la. Add that with the fact the cops hate him and it fits the perfect cover for hush-hush whisper-whisper plotting.

I'm not praising him either as his actions caused a lot of problems. Speeding at 100 miles per hour put a lot of innocent people in danger of bodily harm and death. The riots that followed are the result of the media who provoked underlying racial tensions which resulted in death of some fifty people and the property destruction of hundreds of buildings.

Here's a recent picture Mr. and Mrs Rodney. Mrs. Rodney suddenly fell in love with Mr. Rodney after she fought on the jury to get him 3.8 million instead of $100,000. What a good woman! I would just love to see her investigated. I find her extremely suspicious.

Look at how badly Mr. Rodney aged, his face is drawn down like he was doing a lot of (poison) drugs but Mr. Rodney wanted to be a fifteen minute stage hero... "can't we all get along" maybe that's what the tranny said to him before he got busted.

He is truly a victim of the social welfare programs introduced in the 1970's and not the product of racism by white Americans. It's the race hustling crowd that's loves to exploit poor and ignorant black people by agreeing to put them in housing projects and condition them to be lazy and worthless with welfare checks while blaming the white scapegoat.

I remember what the race hustlers did in Bensonhurst in 89' and I never forgot. I don't trust this woman and she needs to be investigated for murdering the possible STD ridden rotted soul of the then living fool.

despite far flung thoughts of a conspiracy.............the details of his death will more than likely be less dramatic than you may think.........rodney king, regardless of what he said in an interview, was drinking heavily and using illegal drugs recently. that would be enough to cause death especially with the toll his early/young life dalliances took on his physical health.
i watched part of an interview he gave a year or so ago and to tell you the truth.......he seemed a likeable fellow........freely admitted his "condition"....his life's problems were all of his own doing.
would his mate/partner cause his death? perhaps.....but unlikely.
backyard pools can be very dangerous...even to seemingly healthy people. a lesson to be learned is never swim alone....something we are taught at a very early age, nest ce pas?

I don't quite follow what would be the purpose for she/ he/them(?) to do this to him. He was awarded the big money, but you have to agree that the police enforcement against one man was overly drastic. He basically lost all his money due to investing in his own music label. I can see that perhaps an associate like business or a drug person may have had other motives but inferring something else with the police department or something else...well, I don't quite see the connection. Can you explain further Divus? I'm just curious.

His autopsy report will also help fill in more of the blanks. It's sad.

I have respect for many police officers, they put their life in danger and I do have a family member that is a former SWAT captain, a good guy and now does PR work for the department, but I've since formed some other opinions of them as well. I suppose like everything else you have good ones and bad ones mixed in any group of professionals.

I was in an accident back in 2004 involving a motocyclist. I did everything I was suppose to. If it wasn't for a kind sumaritan who witnessed everything and helped me cross the street to one of the officers, I would have been too much in shock to even do something as simple as that. Anyway, here I am a fully cooperating citizen involved in an accident with a injured motorcyclist who who clipped the end of my rear bumper as I tried to complete my left turn. He did one of those swerve around the huge SUV on a curved road to try to get ahead of the traffic light just right before the intersection, before the yellow light became red. I of course was attempting to make a left turn a few minutes from home, literally the next corner was all I had to do. The treatment I got from the police officers put me in more shock. One police officer that mustered enough kindness said, "At least no one got killed." OMG.

Ever since then, I have looked at them with more apprehension. I started to feel some of them aren't any better than uniformed bullies. But their life in danger so I'm sure you acquire that type of attitude when you deal with the dregs of society. I've ridden in the front of a police unit, when my friend was dating a police officer and who is currently a detective. I have another college buddy whose sister is also a detective. It's very different to see them in action. He had to arrest someone and put that person in the back and we drove the perpetrator back to the station. It was a unique experience.

Back to the Rodney King situation, the force they exerted was too much. I know he was under some kind of strong drug, but a tazer or confining him, would have sufficed. What happens is the adrenaline gets going and before you know it they all go crazy on him, and unleash all their adrenaline fueled testosterone on him.

The riots ensued in Los Angeles. I remember the trucker that got pulled out of his truck and beaten. All of this was so horrible. People turning into animals.

I remember this very well. I was working with a diagnostic company, the American division for a German company. At this particular time, my female partner and I handled all of LA, from Burbank/Hollywood to Orange County accounts, including Catalina Islands selling chemistry analyzers and maintaining our customer base. We had all the famous medical centers such as Cedar Sinai, UCLA, USC, Daniel Freeman, Centinela (the designated hospital that would handle any medical emergency while our president would visit Southern California. And everything inbetween. There was a clinical labortabory and we were in there selling our instrumentation or making sure our technical teams were making all our customers happy.

That morning, our regional manager called my partner and I (both women in a male dominated field) to not go into work that day and take the rest of the week off, or handle Orange County accounts instead. We had both won a nationwide contest and were both driving brand new Lexus cars for our company cars. So he ordered us not to go into Los Angeles. It was pretty scary watching all of that drama unfold on the tv. At the time I would have accounts in Compton, like Martin Luther King Med Ctr, closed now for many years. Or USC County with another different type of demographics. I often thought of getting certified and license to keep a handgun in my car or briefcase while I worked in not so safe areas, but I was told many people hurt themselves that way because when things happen they are nervous and often times end up injuring themselves. And if you are going to pick up a weapon to protect yourself, your goal is to use it, not just threaten.

Don't laugh, I had another associate residing across the other side of the country, she had to often travel long stretches of isolated roads used by truckers. She would lay her gun in clear view on her dashboard, so all that passed could see she wasn't alone or afraid to use it. Cough. She was petite like me. Double cough. She was the one that gave me the idea perhaps I would need that kind of protection.

Btw, I do know the basics in handling one and love target practice. It's so exhilarating and liberating at the same time.

There was a joke about the sales reps in LA. There was a hospital, laboratory, medical center at every corner. One of our Field Service Engineers would make a joke, everytime you hear a pop, you learned to hit the floor. Aw Brandon! He worked as one of the rescue teams on a helicopter on the weekends. Everyone across the nation would get a kick out of that statement and laugh until someone from our team seemed to be one of the top 10 percent of sales people every year, and would reap the awards, monetary bonuses, and free vacation perks...benies Then it wasn't so funny to the rest of the sales force anymore and they took us LA girls seriously.

I wonder what really happened to Rodney King? May his soul rest in peace. I look at his face in the photo and it reads differently to me. Like he is a changed man. He tried to better himself. And isn't that what really counts at the end?

I saw him pretty recently on some show, and as someone mentioned upthread, he seemed likeable, and indeed, as you say, like someone trying to better himself. Maybe in the end he couldn't conquer his demons. He won't be the first to have failed.

One thing that gets forgotten in these huge events is that the individual is just a catalyst, caught up in something beginner than themselves, and something over which they have very little control.

It might be a story of a jilted lover, his fiancée. I'm sure the story will unfold. It can't be about the money because he didn't have any. Lost it through some deals he invested in.

It has to be proven leah...Did he still had a home? was it paid for? and, what is broke to a millionaire? $100,00? which takes years if not decades to save..And my apologies if I'm getting my information wrong about his current wife I don't think this is the one that was on the jury.

Anyway, came across an interesting blog by a thinking black man (the type that I admire) he's got most of it right and is on track to the political racist deception pushed by the media.

What will be the legacy of Rodney King? From what I take of it, his beating sparked blacks in South Central Los Angeles to burn down their own community. So I guess I will say nothing but stupidity came from it. I came across a video from the L.A Riots that the media or any race pimp would never, ever want shown to blacks. The beating video got all the attention nationally, but this video of a black merchant in tears after his store was burned down spoke volumes and was never reported. It also showed how law abiding black citizens were utterly in shock and in anger at how other blacks were acting in destroying and robbing from their own community. I guess this side of the LA Riots didn't fit the media's narrative that hard working blacks were also the victims of the LA Riots.

i watched part of an interview he gave a year or so ago and to tell you the truth.......he seemed a likeable fellow........freely admitted his "condition"....his life's problems were all of his own doing.

His biggest problem was telling lies and using imaginary 'racism' as a cover for his crime on that evening. This was not a racist incident but a criminal one, getting beaten for putting countless lives in danger of injury or death was a traditional type of justice that punished the criminal regardless of race or ethnicity.

Rodney Glen King was laid to rest today. He is remembered as the symbol of forgiveness. That's how I want to remember this man. May your soul rest in eternal peace.

"The Rev. Al Sharpton, who delivered the eulogy, said at a news conference before the funeral that King never showed bitterness to the officers who beat him.

"People should not be judged by the mistakes that they make, but by how they rise above them," Sharpton said. "Rodney had risen above his mistakes, he never mocked anyone, not the police, not the justice system, not anyone."
