i was thinking that, hope he wasnt a member of the kkk

 

Far from it. He was a respected cop of many years standing. Intitally he handled King's arrest according to standard procedures but then allowed it to get out of hand with Powell doing most of the beating.

Since he was the senior officer in charge he paid the penalty

So he did no wrong?

He failed to adequately supervise his officers when in a position of responsibility thereby allowing them to use unreasonable and deadly force on King. That's the wrong he did

common name for a black man in the United States. There's Rodney, Don, the boxing promoter, and Martin Luther.

 

but only Don is still alive.

Thats a very unfortunate surname to have in America.

 

sounds like it's probably Korean, or Chinese.

 

so no, not really. It would be totally normal for some of the millions of Asian Americans to have a name like that.

He was lily white. The name Koon is more than likely of Dutch origin or perhaps German.

 

I wouldnt call a black man a "coon" unless I could afford a damned good dentist and a new set of teeth

His friends and family have suffered a loss but he isn't likely to be missed by anyone else.

thats what happens when your addicted to drugs and alcohol

 

Whoa. Where have you been?

 

Chris Rock said, "if the police have to chase you down, they're bringing an a55 whoopin' with 'em!"

 

There were two other people in the car that night with Rodney King. Both of them cooperated with police, which is why we didn't hear anything about them.
