Rodney King Shot, Black People Riot

11.29.07

Well… no riots. But why not? It’s Rodney King!

SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. (AP) — Southern California police said 1991 police beating victim Rodney King has been shot, but the wounds are not life-threatening.

Rialto police Sgt. Don Lewis told the Riverside Press-Enterprise that King was hit in the face and arm by shotgun pellets on a San Bernardino street corner Wednesday night. He bicycled to his home in Rialto to call police and was taken to a hospital.

Police said when they arrived at the home, King and others there appeared drunk and few were cooperative in providing information.

San Bernardino police Lt. Scott Paterson tells the San Bernardino County Sun that the shooting may have involved a domestic dispute.

King was beaten by Los Angeles police in 1991 and the officers’ subsequent acquittal on criminal charges sparked deadly rioting in 1992.

    See Rodney King has got a lot of problems, and if he throws a brick maybe the brick will go and solve them.
