Taped Beating of Rodney King
The March 6 article quotes Gates, “One incident doesn’t indict an entire department.” If the police chief expects the public to believe that, then I’d guess that for every “El Salvadoran drunk that doesn’t belong here that kills a cop,” there are at least a dozen LAPD officers prepared to perform the “swarm technique” on a defenseless citizen. Swarm technique? Looks like a blitzkrieg to me.
