Rodney King  

Definición

  • Rodney Glen King is an African American male who made national headlines after four White Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officers were unknowingly videotaped using excessive force against him. The videotape was aired by every major television network across America and only affirmed for many what minorities have argued for years: the criminal justice system in America is biased and unjust at all levels when dealing with minorities.
