Rodney King Arrested for Alleged Threats
Source: Associated Press
09/30/2005


RIALTO, Calif. - Rodney King, whose videotaped beating by Los Angeles police led to deadly riots in 1992, was arrested after he allegedly threatened his daughter and ex-girlfriend, police said.

King, 40, was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of making criminal threats. He was being held on $25,000 bail.

He was accused of threatening to kill his 23-year-old daughter, Candace, and her mother, Carmen Simpson, after the two got in a fight with King's current girlfriend, Dawn Jean. All three women live in King's home.

The daughter, who called police, said King was armed with a handgun, but it turned out to be a toy, according to authorities.

King's videotaped beating after he was stopped for speeding shocked the nation when it was shown repeatedly on television newscasts. After the four white police officers charged in the beating were acquitted of most charges, Los
Angeles erupted in riots that left 55 people dead and caused $1 billion in property damage.

King sued the city for the beating, eventually settling for $3.8 million.

Since the beating, he has had a string of run-ins with the law. He walks with a limp since a 2003 accident in which he lost control of his car, crashed into a house at 100 mph and shattered his pelvis.

This man is a pig. He beats women, drinks and does drugs, ruined a lot of lives, cost the taxpayer bundles, and it doesn't get better.

Why do you have the nerve to be surprised?

he didn't ruin the lives of the 4 cops who beat him. they're still employed in one way or another, and are considered heroes by many.

the fact the he's a fucking piece of shit dosen't make it okay for the 4 cops to beat the shit out of him, what they did was wrong. The fact that he's a loser and a criminal doesn't make the cops actions better. :hand:

So because that man is messed up, ya think that the cops were right to beat him up? :naughty:
