Rodney King Shot in Southern California

laist.com — Rodney King, whose videotaped beating by LAPD officers (and their subsequent acquittal) sparked the Los Angeles riots in 1992, was shot late last night, according to San Bernardino police. King was shot in the face and arm while riding his bike home to Rialto.

    • djphatjive, on 11/30/2007, -2/+15He then called the police and they said "HAHAhahahahahahahahhahahaaa!!!!!!" And hung up!
    • weeeezzll, on 11/30/2007, -1/+11Apparently the LAPD's tactic of beating sense into criminals isn't panning out as well as hoped...

      • ShrimpCrackers, on 11/30/2007, -2/+1Probably lost his license as a result and now stuck on a bike.

    • tsos2, on 11/29/2007, -22/+2You're killing me.... This guy can't stay out of trouble. Wonder if LA is burning again? :(
      • djh816, on 11/29/2007, -5/+3That was possibly the lamest attempt at being funny I've seen on digg lately.
      • weeeezzll, on 11/30/2007, -0/+11People didn't riot because King was a good man done wrong, they started the riot because bad cops (who committed a crime) were acquitted in light of clear evidence of their wrong doing.

        For years minorities have taken beating from cops and had little recourse other than their word against a cops, and we all know how that ends. When the video of King's beating came out it appeared to be a open and shut case. Needless to say, the minority community across the country was just a little upset at the lack of justice.

        There is never a good reason for a riot, and I'm not going to sit here and condone one, but don't try to trivialize what actually happened.
        • OverlordXenu, on 11/30/2007, -5/+3A shaky video taken well after the start of everything...Really, it was a worthless video.

          Wasn't King on PCP?
        • tsos2, on 11/30/2007, -4/+2Did you ever read the testimony of what happened that day? In case you didn't maybe this will give you an idea
          "The acquittal was partly based on a segment of the video showing King getting up and charging at Powell. That 13-second segment was excluded from news broadcasts. Before that, the officers tried to restrain King but he threw them off, according to their testimony. This was not caught on tape."
          Now imagine you're a cop and a big guy like King is charging you and you're co-workers after a chase... what the ***** would you do??? Maybe I was out of line with the "LA buring crap" but King is a turd for what he caused. "can't we all just get along???" The words of a man ridden with guilt....

    Yeah... Those were the days.
  • DeviantDragon, on 11/29/2007, -3/+351"King was shot in the face and arm with a pellet gun (LA Times) or perhaps a shotgun (KNX, USA Today)" That's a pretty big ***** difference there.
    • FeartheKnighted, on 11/29/2007, -0/+90"Injuries are minor -- King, 42, completed his ride home before calling police."

      I'm guessing it was a pellet gun.
      • Nougat, on 11/29/2007, -2/+14Or a really distant shotgun.
      • gn0stik, on 11/29/2007, -4/+17man, if it's just a pellet gun, this is a non issue, and is being reported why? Because he's Rodney king. An ex con who already had his 15 minutes, and can get his life together enough to buy a ***** car.
      • GeyserShitdick, on 11/30/2007, -1/+3"Police then proceeded to beat him into submission before taking him to the hospital."
    • Dodobutt222, on 11/29/2007, -6/+1That's exactly what I was thinking of posting!
    • EdgarVerona, on 11/29/2007, -1/+21I heard it was a shotgun filled with pellets.
    • Rickler, on 11/30/2007, -4/+9Has noone heard of a buckshot? Let me enlighten you all.. it is a shotgun shell loaded with PELLETS.
      • HayString, on 11/30/2007, -2/+4If buckshot is loaded with pellets, then what is birdshot loaded with?
        • rajun50, on 11/30/2007, -0/+12...smaller pellets
        • MalDON, on 11/30/2007, -1/+16Birds?
        • Lukesed, on 11/30/2007, -1/+7That joke would only work if he had said that buckshot was loaded with bucks.
        • HayString, on 11/30/2007, -2/+1It's not supposed to be a joke. He said it like only buchshot has pellets. He also said it like he knows a lot about shotguns. All shotgun rounds, except for slugs, are loaded with pellets, more appropriately referred to as shot. I was going to "enlighten" him if he had tried to tell me anything different.
      • AC130Spectre, on 11/30/2007, -0/+0Buckshot shells only contain upto like 15 "pellets." Shotgun shells loaded with birdshot have hundreds of much smaller pellets. Being hit with buckshot would be much more serious than with birdshot, which from a distance (75-100 yds) isnt all that bad
        • martyFREEDOM, on 11/30/2007, -1/+1Buckshots also have a pretty damn big slug in the middle. He could have been hit with birdshot from a distance, wouldn't be the first time.
          • gmiley, on 11/30/2007, -0/+4No, a slug is different than buckshot. Buckshot are larger pellets, slugs contain one solid, shaped mass of metal. Birdshot contains many smaller pellets than buckshot.
          • molochi, on 11/30/2007, -0/+1No, buckshot loads don't have a big slug in the middle (usually). The most common form of buckshot (00 Buck) uses .33 inch, shot. My 12gauge 2 3/4" shells of 00 buck have 9-12 projectiles (depends on the load). 12ga 00buck Magnum loads (usually in 3" and longer shells) can have 15 or more 00 projectiles. Exotic composite loads have existed that mix shot size and can even include a slug but I don't think it was ever a popular way of formulating a load. They tended to pattern poorly. And they wouldn't call it a buckshot load. It'd be more like a wacky "I can't figure out what I'm shooting at load."
      • DeviantDragon, on 11/30/2007, -0/+2But nobody calls a shotgun a pellet gun. These are what people call pellet guns: http://images.google.com/images?q=pellet+gun&ie=UT ...
    • Phatt138, on 11/30/2007, -2/+4"That's a pretty big ***** difference there."
      Depends on the distance you're talking about.
      • DeviantDragon, on 11/30/2007, -0/+2Still, in order to equate the damage from a shotgun to that of a pellet gun, you would always be much further away with a shotgun than the pellet gun and that's not taking into account the number of projectiles striking said target.
    • marmanukem, on 11/30/2007, -0/+2No if it was buckshot he would be in a lot more trouble. Bird shot has pellets about that size. If fired from a considerable range he might have only gotten hit with a few pellets.
    • Shadotek, on 11/30/2007, -2/+4Don't pellet me, bro!
    • xsidekick409, on 11/30/2007, -1/+2Pellets from what I would call a "pellet gun" (BB or airsoft) are not deadly. Pellets from what I would call a shotgun are deadly. I would never confuse a pellet gun with a shotgun. They need to fix that ambiguity.
      • wavenger, on 11/30/2007, -0/+0It's probably just ambiguous because they don't actually know at this point which one it is. Just because you know the difference doesn't mean King does, and while he completed the ride home he was definitely eager to get away.

    • johnn11238, on 11/29/2007, -3/+15If I was Rodney King, I'd have made sure I got home and LOCKED MY ***** DOOR before calling the LAPD. If I called them at all...
      • Agrajag, on 11/29/2007, -0/+8He didn't call the LAPD, since he lives in Rialto.
    • FlyingSpaghetti, on 11/30/2007, -1/+8BOOM! HEADSHOT!
    • ekin09, on 11/30/2007, -1/+2I was thinking that he is as tough as Tyler Durden, but then to my disappointment it followed with "a pellet gun"...
    • digggggggggg, on 11/30/2007, -0/+2Meh, he's probably used to it at this point.
    • toph2223, on 11/30/2007, -0/+3have you ever witnessed what a man on PCP can take? oh wait, it was caught on tape back in '94...
    • ryanwarnersteel, on 11/30/2007, -0/+2got shot in the face 9 times!
  • olbap, on 11/29/2007, -13/+38Rodney King > Chuck Norris. He got shot in the face and hand, still rode his bike home, got or had been intoxicated, and then called the police to report the crime. I want to be just like Rodney King.
    • bmunichman, on 11/30/2007, -4/+4shot in the face and hand....with a pellet gun.

      man, thats hardcore. must have been torture trying to bike home with those minor injuries
    • wrestlingnrj, on 11/30/2007, -0/+3Blasphemy
    • gmprunner, on 11/30/2007, -0/+3Chuck Norris wouldn't call no police, he'd take care of the guy himself and make it look like suicide. And thats after getting shot with a shotgun, not a little pellet gun.
    • rdaly92, on 11/30/2007, -0/+0ever heard of rasputin?
      He was shot, stabbed, poisoned and still manage to run russia into the ground until they finally drowned him by throwing him in a freezing river.(supposedly he didn't drown and died of hypotherima days later
      • bosssmiley, on 11/30/2007, -0/+1So, what's the argument you're putting forth here? Rasputin > Rodney King. I can buy that.
        Rasputin: poisoned, stabbed, shot six times, trampled with a horse, then thrown in the river. Russians have always partied hard!
    • MeMongo, on 11/30/2007, -0/+1You forget that Chuck Norris is a bible thumping moron now. He's dedicating all of his time to kicking the devil's ass. He has an infomercial talking about how to get around laws that prevent the bible from being taught in public schools:

        • SydBarrett420, on 11/30/2007, -0/+5Lol, Bill Hicks was not a racist and you are obviously a naive ***** who has no idea about the source material the original poster referenced. so you can... SHUT THE ***** UP DONNY.

  • bobcatred, on 11/29/2007, -16/+12"After police arrived at King's Jackson Street home, King and others inside appeared intoxicated, Lewis said, and few were cooperative in providing information."

    Wait, wait wait... King and his friends/family don't want to cooperate with the police? After he was made famous because the police beat the crap out of him? SHOCKING.

    Seriously now, are they really surprised by that?
    • bogslug, on 11/29/2007, -1/+0In other news -- sugar rots your teeth.
      • boombye, on 11/30/2007, -0/+1Well only few could be cooperative because it's not like he rode his bike with the whole family/friends circle he has. They could only provide so much information based on what they know, not to mention he was probably alone when that ***** happened to him.
    • thejamabides, on 11/30/2007, -2/+11From what I understand, his inability to cooperate with police officers the first time around is what got his ass beat.

      This is why his inability to cooperate now isn't so surprising.
      • Hermmunster, on 11/30/2007, -2/+1Nothing should have caused his ass to get beat. So you are way ***** off base here. Would we feel comfortable saying the same thing about you had it happened to you?
      • Lukesed, on 11/30/2007, -1/+1Unless by "not cooperating" you mean "using a dangerous weapon that can only be stopped by five nightsticks" I don't see you point, bides.

  • ferrariman60, on 11/29/2007, -2/+10I'm just guessing here, and I'm no pro, but if he finished riding his bike home before calling the police, it was probably a pellet gun. I think he would have been found bleeding on the street, near death, had a shotgun been used.
    • AC130Spectre, on 11/30/2007, -1/+2Could have been a shotgun from far away...

      • badjoke, on 11/30/2007, -3/+6So him running from the cops and being all coked out is just a friendly, routine traffic stop?
        • boombye, on 12/02/2007, -0/+1You don't even live in California, that ***** only happens because people don't want to get lost in the system on that 3 strikes *****.. It's too easy to pin something on someone 3 times without them doing it, until they finally get sent away. Spend some time in a county jail and you'll be shocked at how many people haven't even had their first court date appearance for whatever they got locked up for. I suppose that's not how it works on tv, which is where you get all your legal insight, but my loser ass was an even bigger loser once before and I've had to go thru that *****..

          the only thing that'll help you when you're locked up is your economic class, and if you can afford to pay thousands for bond for ***** you never even did.

    • boombye, on 11/30/2007, -9/+2Why is he a waste of space? All he did was get pulled out of a truck and get the ***** beaten out of him, and people were just fed up with it. So he's a waste of space because he got his ass beat for no reason?
      • cyph3r05, on 11/30/2007, -2/+9its not fair to say this without mentioning that he had been evading the police. I am against police brutality, but i don't mind it so much if there was a crime committed.
        • boombye, on 12/06/2007, -0/+1so if i hide from you or run away from you, then you're going to beat me up because you were incapable of keeping up? upgrade your ***** then and stop driving slow ass crown vics that all sound the same from a block away.
      • Orderless, on 11/30/2007, -2/+5Yeah, they had absolutely no reason to beat him at all. It had nothing to do with the high speed chase he led the cops on nor the fact that he was intoxicated. And if you don't already have enough sense to not run from the cops while you're high, you deserve a good beating.

        • boombye, on 12/02/2007, -0/+1How about they couldn't take that happening every single ***** day to their brothers, sons, fathers, or cousins..

  • skjede, on 11/29/2007, -0/+2There's really no way it was anything but some stray shotgun pellets if it struck him in more than one place.

  • PamalaLauren, on 11/30/2007, -4/+7It was that white cop that he rode by! Police Brutality! Honestly what those cops did to him was unacceptable but you'd think he'd turn his life around. I mean people wasted good energy on that stupid man.
    • OverkillTASF, on 11/30/2007, -0/+3Your tax dollars at work.
    • ZenMojo, on 11/30/2007, -0/+2Turn his life around? And do what, avoid getting shot by crazy ***** while riding his bike?
      • Pixelante, on 11/30/2007, -1/+0Make it crazy low-life ***** who couldn't afford a decent rifle.
  • bonds, on 11/30/2007, -2/+9They didn't mention that he was riding his bike down the highway at over 100 mph, and was drunk on Chivas Regal.
  • mrogi, on 11/30/2007, -3/+37Rodney King was awarded a $3.8 million tax free settlement for his 1991 beat down. The money did not change Rodney one tiny bit. He was a no good scumbag before he got rich, a pus-filled tumor when he was rich, and a pile of rat ***** now that his dumb ass is dead broke again.
    • BeyondGoodNEvil, on 11/30/2007, -1/+5He deserved the beating. How he's lived his life after it confirms the officer testimony that he was throwing punches and not cooperating when they tried to arrest him. He has been arrested numerous times afterwards, from drug use to beating his girlfriend.
    • Procure, on 11/30/2007, -0/+4Don't forget the time in 2001 he was high on PCP and wrapped his SUV around a telephone pole... Or indecent exposure that year, or speeding and running a red light while drunk in 2003, or... etc etc
      • alwilson, on 11/30/2007, -1/+2It's good to see you are keeping tabs on him.
  • nudedos, on 11/30/2007, -2/+1damn videogames.
  • OverkillTASF, on 11/30/2007, -1/+14Ok, since most of you seem to have gotten a firearms education from right clicking in Half-Life and watching the shottie plaster some poor sap on the wall... Shotguns can fire many different size munitions. From big 1 oz full-bore slugs to the well-known 00 buckshot, all the way down to almost a fine dust, "rat shot". Shot actually loses velocity pretty quickly once it exits the barrel. Just like with Cheney's news-item, being "shot by a shotgun" doesn't mean someone jammed a double barreled 12 gauge under some guys chin and pulled the trigger. If you've ever seen a skeet field, there's not a whole lot of distance between the field and civilization, despite the fact that most shots are taken at a high angle, which would lend to long trajectories. This is because shot does not hold on to its kinetic energy for long. Since they're not sure if it was a pellet gun or a shot gun, it was probably bird shot (As buck shot is significantly bigger than a standard .177 pellet or bb). A shotgun with a wide choke firing fine bird shot, you're only going to get hit with a few pellets and they're not going to get a whole lot of penetration. So, just because he wasn't a smear on the pavement doesn't mean he wasn't shot at and "hit" by a shotgun.
    • wrestlingnrj, on 11/30/2007, -0/+2I've been hit in the face and upper chest with #8 bird shot from about 100ft and it just made me bleed a little. Thank God for safety glasses or it could have been a lot worse.
      • AC130Spectre, on 11/30/2007, -0/+1100 ft, damn... i bet that hurt a little. I've been hit from 50 yds with 7 1/2 and it wasnt any fun
      • cgruber, on 11/30/2007, -0/+1I've had it 'rain' on me duck hunting. It's enough to make you slightly nervous but obviously not dangerous at that speed/distance.
    • alwilson, on 11/30/2007, -1/+0So, from a distance, getting shot by a shotgun is not so bad.
  • RobsaysHello, on 11/30/2007, -0/+7No we cannot all get along.
    • DestroyFascism, on 11/30/2007, -3/+1O So true...

      (he's rich, you are not...)
      (his god is better..)
      (I am petty! )
      (I am god...)
      etc.....
  • MogusMaximus, on 11/30/2007, -1/+0Shot with a pellet gun? Oh no, minor bruising! Everybody riot!

    Buried.

      • fabDisaster, on 11/30/2007, -2/+2thank you Derek Vinyard...

    • jwreed, on 11/30/2007, -2/+5Thats exactly my point....he is nothing more than a crack head with money!
    • BeyondGoodNEvil, on 11/30/2007, -0/+4Too bad they didn't beat him to death. Could have saved a lot of trouble. I mean Jesus, look at that list... Hit and Run, Domestic violence, beating girlfriend, indecent exposure, DWI, robbery. The man was a ***** CAREER CRIMINAL who drove 100mph down residential streets on drugs and threw punches at the cops trying to arrest him. They give him $3.8M b/c blacks stand up for that sort of behavior and hold cities hostage by threat of mob violence. It's amazing that we ONLY beat criminals. There was a time when they'd just lynch the *****. Not because he's black, but because he's an indisputable piece of *****.
