Harleyman   12 #26 Posted June 17, 2012 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Harleyman   12 #29 Posted June 17, 2012 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

callippo   10 #31 Posted June 17, 2012 Thats a very unfortunate surname to have in America.  sounds like it's probably Korean, or Chinese.  so no, not really.

Harleyman   12 #32 Posted June 17, 2012 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.  More like of Dutch or German derivation (Koon) He's snow white anyway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Harleyman   12 #33 Posted June 17, 2012 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Sierra   21 #35 Posted June 18, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
