things that if they happened over here , would have every civil libertarian group across the country up in arms.
Rodney King is a good example, not too many know the true story of why they did what they did, only saw the horrific footage of the repeated baton strikes and i think he was zapped too. It was all about the mighty scare they had over there at the time regarding PCP users, where you can be contaminated just be getting the persons sweat on you. Nobody wanted to touch him.
