Blast from the Past: Rodney King Shot

Posted by Bossip Staff

Rodney King

There has been way too much violence going on these days:

Rodney King, famous for a videotaped beating from Los Angeles police back in 1991, was shot and wounded on a San Bernardino street corner late Wednesday. King called Rialto police just before midnight to report the shooting. According to Sgt. Don Lewis, King was struck in the face and arm by a shotgun. When police arrived at King’s home, they reported that King and others inside appeared drunk. King was taken to a local hospital, and his wounds were not believed to be life-threatening.

Well at least his injuries aren’t life-threatening, but damn a shot in the face has got to hurt, no matter how drunk you are.

    Dammit.. that was my line “Can’t we all just get along”?

    @ I Love…. Okay I ain’t trying to sound all analytical and what not but whenever the cops file a report they have to comment on the state of the victim/witness. So that’s probably why they were commenting on his ass being drunk.

    It must be a slow day… Rodney King? LMAO…

    Wow! This is like his 3rd incident since his beating. He really spent that 3.8 million well. We backed another winner. I bet you we will be saying the same thing in a few years about the jena 6 allstars. We made them into heros after they beat some whiteboy. I guess its easier for the media to divide all of us by over reporting the dog and Imus instead of worrying about what we are doing to ourselves.
