This is what happens when you get rid of the vets and have kids doing the work.

Many of you are old enough to remember the riots in LA after the LA Police officers got off after beating Rodney King.

As a Journalist, I cover the story and the riots in South Central LA.

Long before YouTube and phones on your camera, a person using a video recorder captured LA cops beating Rodney King and hitting him over and over again while he laid on the ground.

The video went viral before there was social media to do so.

As the rioters burned hundreds of businesses, Rodney King went before the press and urged people to stop. “Can’t we all just get along,” King said to TV cameras.

Yes, Rodney King was badly beaten, but he was still alive and talked about what happened to him for years to come.

That ends today’s history lesson.

Now, someone needs to tell the folks at WUSA 9 that Rodney King was not killed by police.
