Please, please, don't let this story devolve into a "LAPD got even with Rodney King" conspiracy theorists wet dream. We don't need another round of race riots in this country.

We're going to have those as soon as Obama loses anyway.

But you have a heck of a point - you can't find this story anywhere else on the web where it doesn't include practically a blow by blow re-hash of the "beating" but never mentions King was on PCP, resisted arrest and was driving to endanger, and of course the stories never mention his continued criminal record after that.
