Rodney King, R.I.P.

Rodney King died today.

He was a tragic figure.

I don’t blame him for any of the violence which took place after the policemen charged with assaulting him were found not guilty.  An interesting resource on the court case is here.  I discussed how the video evidence was demolished in court in this post, What happens when Zimmerman is found “not guilty”?

He led a troubled life.  May he rest in peace.
