8. So sad that a guy who suffered a brain injury would be desperate enough to let someone hit him for money. Sad! I thought he got some massive monetary settlement, no?

12. The ex-Pennsylvania cop was only on the job for seventeen months, and then he got fired. This is not a career officer.

Rodney King must be desperate to accept less than five figures.

And the first go 'round, Rodney King was not in possession of the nightstick, it was the cops who assaulted him who were.
