exactly. let's not forget that Rodney King fled from being pulled over, caused a high speed chase all because it would have violated his parole.
1991 police assault in Los Angeles
Early in the morning of Sunday, March 3, 1991, King, with his friends Bryant Allen and Freddie Helms, was driving a 1987
Hyundai Excel west on the
Foothill Freeway (Interstate 210) in the
San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles. The three had spent the night watching basketball and drinking at a friend's house in Los Angeles.
[10] At 12:30 a.m., officers Tim and Melanie Singer, husband and wife members of the
California Highway Patrol, noticed King's car speeding on the freeway. They pursued King with lights and sirens, and the pursuit reached 117 mph (188 km/h), while King refused to pull over.
[11][12] King later said he tried to outrun the police because a charge of driving under the influence would violate his parole for his previous robbery conviction.[13]
King left the freeway near the
Hansen Dam Recreation Area and the pursuit continued through residential streets at speeds ranging from 55 to 80 miles per hour (90 to 130 km/h), and through at least one red light.
[14][15][16] By this point, several police cars and a police helicopter had joined in the pursuit. After approximately 8 miles (13 km), officers cornered King in his car. The first five
Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officers to arrive were
Stacey Koon, Laurence Powell, Timothy Wind, Theodore Briseno, and Rolando Solano.

did the cops beat this idiot too much? obviously. but consider why they did. he ran from the cops, put many others in danger all because he was on parole and shouldn't have been driving drunk.
and just so the usual suspects here who cry "racist cops" if some dork white dude had done what King did they'd get the shit beaten out if them by the cops too.
Is the left going to ignore the Jossie Smollett trial?
