Rodney King Arrested for Threats

[hipmamajen]

He must be pretty tough! He was shot in the arm and face and then BIKED home to report the shooting. Dang, I'd be lying on the street corner whining and being dramatic at least!

Whatever you think of Rodney King, he is one tough cookie. He takes a licking and keeps on ticking......

That he does. Why is he riding a bike? Didn't he get a bunch of loot from his lawsuit? Nevermind. LOL I'm sorry I just have to say this. Can't we all just get along?

Rodney King dead at 47

Los Angeles (CNN) -- Rodney King, whose beating by Los Angeles police in 1991 was caught on camera and sparked riots after the acquittal of the four officers involved, was found dead in his swimming pool Sunday, authorities and his fiancee confirmed. He was 47.

Police in Rialto, California, received a 911 call from King's fiancee, Cynthia Kelly, about 5:25 a.m., said Capt. Randy DeAnda. Responding officers found King at the bottom of the pool, removed him and attempted to revive him. He was pronounced dead at a local hospital, DeAnda said.

There were no preliminary signs of foul play, he said, and no obvious injuries on King's body. Police are conducting a drowning investigation, DeAnda said, and King's body would be autopsied.

What a sensational life & death. Sad. R.I.P.

 

[Cubby]

Very sad.

Rest peacefully, Rodney.

 

[Gardenlady]

So Very sad for him and his loved ones. I know he had difficulties with alcoholism, having heard him talk about it in the past. He is finally past his demons.

Peaceful sleep, Mr. King. :rose:

RIP in Mr. Rodney King

 

[Dark Knight]

I am not totally surprised by this, he has had numerous run-ins with the law even after the beatings. I hope he finally rests in peace.

It's interesting to me how some people's lives are forever fodder for sensationalism... and now his dramatic exit. How horrific for his girlfriend.

RIP RK
