Its easy, there's no need to move out of your town and act like its the end of the world.
Don't have kids do you? Ever have your child come home from school after having a pile of diversity land on him/her? What do you think the schools are like for a white student that's in the minority?
Originally posted by AThousandYoung Ever heard of Rodney King?
Rodney King took police on a high speed car chase, endangering his own life, the lives of the police and the lives of bystanders.
What the police did in beating him was reprehensible and criminal (and they went to jail for years for it). But, Rodney King is not a lesson to avoid dealing with police. His case is a lesson to avoid taking police on high speed chases. As far as I'm concerned, they could have put King in jail along with the officers. He's no martyr.

No, numbnuts. The riots started in the Inglewood area. They came up my street. The police could not stop them. Citizen riflemen on the roof kept them from torching our building like they did the liquor store and the laundromat on the corner.
By the way - the local police station (Rampart) has a history of being infiltrated by gangster thugs. Look into the CRASH scandal.
That being said, I've also worked in Inglewood with teenagers. They're just people. Wonderful people for the most part.
However. racial tension is in Greater Los Angeles, and at the wrong time under the wrong circumstances it can explode - not the fault of any one ethnic group - but it does happen.

Are you sure you meant to respond to my post?
I posted about how I don't consider Rodney King a martyr because he was a criminal.
You say "No, numbnuts." and then tell a story about the riots and a little about Inglewood teenagers and racial tensions in LA.

And I posted about Rodney King in response to a post from generalissimo about calling the police. You lost the point - that the police cannot always protect us in the Inglewood area - and so I clarified for you.
Your comment about Rodney King not being a martyr showed you misunderstood why I mentioned Rodney King.

Thanks for the clarification, numbnuts. 😉 🙂
In any case, I do think that fact that King did take the police on a high speed chase does impeach your point somewhat. You can correct me if I'm wrong- but I thought you meant that the police cannot be relied on to protect you- see what they did to Rodney King. My point was that Rodney King is not a fair comparison to law abiding citizens. Whereas law abiding citizens are, what's the phrase I'm looking for? oh, right: law-abiding, Rodney King took police on a high speed chase. So, as long as you don't do things like take police on high speed chases, you shouldn't need to worry about police doing to you what they did to Rodney King.

You're welcome! Sorry if I had a hostile tone.

No, that's not what I meant, but I can see how you would think I did. I just meant that sometimes the police can't protect you.
Pick Mexico for your next holiday!
