RIVERSIDE, Calif. – Rodney King has been arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence in Southern California. The Moreno Valley Police Department said officers pulled King over Tuesday after seeing him commit several alleged traffic violations. He was booked into jail for investigation of DUI, and bail was set at $2,500. King was the black motorist whose beating by four white police officers in 1991 exposed racial wounds and led to a devastating riot in Los Angeles. He has struggled with sobriety publicly and appeared on television's "Celebrity Rehab."
Good to see someone is memorializing the 20th anniversary of the Rodney King beating and the ensuing LA Riots...Also good to see that Rodney is still a fine upstanding citizen...I mean it's been like 3 years since he was last in the news for drug or alcohol related driving offenses. That's a new personal record, congrats Rodney!
Note: This is in no way condoning the beating of Rodney King, just mere commentary that this man has proven again and again that he's the scum of the earth, driving on PCP, driving drunk, running over girlfriends (no proof of dui there), driving drunk into a house, claiming to have been sprayed with a shotgun (I have no idea what this means), and now driving drunk again....Just saying it's not quite a coincidence he was the guy getting his ass beat.
