 Rodney King dies; victim of L.A. police beating was 47

Rodney King, the black motorist whose violent encounter with white Los Angeles police officers after a car chase in 1991 was captured on home video and helped prompt one of the worst race riots in U.S. history, and an abiding controversy about American justice, died June 17. He was 47.

Mr. King apparently drowned at his home in Rialto, Calif., according to local police. His fiancee called 911 early Sunday morning, saying that she had discovered Mr. King at the bottom of his swimming pool. He was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. A preliminary investigation showed no signs of foul play.

Two decades ago, Mr. King, then 25, found himself at the center of one of the most volatile debates over race and the law since the end of the civil rights movement. To many people, especially in the black community, he became a symbol of the police brutality that had long been inflicted on African Americans.

 also, a couple years back, a friend of mine who is a bit strange and knows all about the Rodney King and OJ Simpson trials and all that, he told me that the money that Rodney King got in the end, he used it to start a rap label. That made me laugh quite hard at the time.

You want all victims of racial violence to make the news when they die of a natural cause?
