I know this isn't really considered history, but unfortunately, it is a part of our past. And a dark, bad one at that. I had a discussion with a co-worker today about this topic. It seems in the early 90's, Rodney King was beaten for driving down the freeway 100 mph, high as a kite,and with drug parphenalia on him. A nearby person taped the cops beating him, but failed to show the beginning, where I'm sure he resisted. I realize the cops were using "excessive force", but if this law- breaking stoner wouldn't have resisted in the first place, it wouldn't have went down like that. I know this goes against my deep-rooted beliefs, but bare with me here. So after this, the pre-historic, cavemen, in south-central Los Angles starting rioting. They were trashing they're very own neighborhoods, looting, and terrorizing (I shouldn't really say this, but the oppositte skin color). I remember seeing the primates ripping out a trucker, I belive was Reginald Denney, and bludgening him. I know I shouldn't say this, but I wish the military would have went in sooner, and any looter would be shot on the spot. They should have went in with RPGs or heavy machine guns, IMO. They weren't even looting basic necessaties, they were taking Big screen TVs, and such. Of course the beatings. It was absurd. I finally seen with my own two eyes how modern America can turn into a dam jungle.
