...All the hubub didn't change the Rodney King verdict...
Bullschitt. The US Attorney convicted those officers on civil rights violations to keep the rioting from escalating. The state courts had acquitted them, so the blacks promptly started rioting and burning their own neighborhoods to the ground. I thought they should have acquitted them on the US civil right violations also, thrown a steel barrier around the riot zone and tossed in water and food as needed.
