Rest In Peace dude.

Promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued Sunday, June 17th, 2012 9:41am PDT - promote requested by legacy0100.

*equality

Adding video to channels (Equality) - requested by Fusionaut.

still one of the most poignant calls to sanity ever articulated.

Ya know I was a kid when the riots broke out and I had to miss a Birthday party because we were too scared in our homes of the riots in SoCal. I've heard everything about Rodney King my whole life, people telling me this and that, making jokes about it news articles and such. I read a BBC article on the day he died and they said that as a result of the beatings he suffered brain damage. No News Channel or article I've ever read has ever mentioned that, almost like they were trying to sow distrust of this guy who's whining about the cops beating him.

I even compared the BBC article with the Associated Press article, no mention of brain damage just a graphic description of the beating. I guess they don't understand that a stupid racist decision can have long term effects.
