Getting a beating

March 2,1991..........Rodney King gets the beating of his lifetime by some LA cops, the whole world sees it over and over again. I would know since we lived in California at the time, It was on the news 24 hours a day!! The LA riots were just plain ass crazy! Kinda of like 9/11 we watched it nonstop, there was nothing else on TV.

Fast Forward 15 years..........

If you have not seen it cause you just got home from Mars or the Moon, then you should watch this tonight. I won't state how I feel about the whole beating incident, but I will say this.

I can see it coming, the LA riots all over again but this time only in St. Louis.

Since I am on the subject of police issues, Here is another one for ya:

Police Officer Will Be Charged in Lincoln County Shooting of Two Men

Teasley and Brown were pulled over for speeding. They were sitting inside their truck when the vehicle backed up. The deputy, who had been on the force for three years, fired into the vehicle, killing the two men.

The deputy involved now faces two counts of involuntary manslaughter.

Now this I will state how I feel, BULLSHIT!! I feel they deserved what they got!
1. They should of pulled over as soon as the cop tried to pull them over.
2. The dumbass driver should not of allowed his truck to roll backwards.
3. The cop had a right to shot, how was he supposed to know if they were going to hit him or not. I feel he did what he had to to protect his well being.
4. When the truck rolled back in damaged the reinforced bumber of the police car, If it can damage that just think if it would have bones & flesh.

The story could of ended up like this:

Lincoln County officer dead after pulling over a truck that was speeding. The officer was pronouced dead at the scene. Investigators believe that as the officer was walking up to the vehicle it rolled backwards and crushed him to death. The officer was pinned between the bumpers of the truck and the police car.

So you get the point.

I'm just saying.......
