No One Knew What Rodney King Had Done Beforehand To Be Stopped. No One Realized That He Was A Parolee And That He Was Violating His Parole. No One Knew Any Of Those Things. All They Saw Was This Grainy Film And Police Officers Hitting Him Over The Head.

No one knew what Rodney King had done beforehand to be stopped. No one realized that he was a parolee and that he was violating his parole. No one knew any of those things. All they saw was this grainy film and police officers hitting him over the head.

It was a department where you had honesty and integrity stamped right on you when you came into the Los Angeles Police Department. If you violated that, or if you were a dishonest cop, you were terrible. We got rid of you as quickly as possible.
