hah, the distrust part is true not because of Rodney King or other people who've made it on the news, its because of regular people with past experiences that are such a common thing now. I would think it would be the same in all metro areas. You shouldnt just give the police and govt the respect and meet the demands of all their wishes, you should question their actions when theyre heavy handed and unecessary - like this case. Cops shouldnt go around beating up suspects like that. You dont see them do it to rapists or child molesters, they ONLY do it when someone fucks around with other cops. They arent doing it to protect you, they are only doing it to save their own pride and get revenge. Revenge by the police is not justice and is something we should all be wary about.
