Outrage Over King Verdict
- Share via
It is nice to know where we stand. As a black man I already know that there is no justice for our people. With these verdicts in the King case it should be painfully obvious to everyone else what justice is like for black people in America.
So now what happens if I get pulled over by the LAPD? Based on the verdicts, I would be in fear for my safety. Would I then be within my rights to beat the officer with a blunt instrument? The King jury seems to say yes. Double standard notwithstanding.
